Book 15

This is one of the first books to focus on the dynamic aspect of proteomes. The book introduces proteomics to the newcomer, reviews the theoretical aspects of proteomics and its state-of-the art technologies, along with a number of biological applications using "classical" proteomic technology. The book also presents a new concept, the Dynamome, or the expression of a comprehensive molecular set that participates in the whole dynamic process of a series of cellular events.

Mass Spectrometry

by Dominic M. Desiderio

Published 1 January 2008
With contributions from noted experts from Europe and North America, Mass Spectrometry Instrumentation, Interpretation, and Applications serves as a forum to introduce students to the whole world of mass spectrometry and to the many different perspectives that each scientific field brings to its use. The book emphasizes the use of this important analytical technique in many different fields, including applications for organic and inorganic chemistry, forensic science, biotechnology, and many other areas. After describing the history of mass spectrometry, the book moves on to discuss instrumentation, theory, and basic applications.

Now in a revised and updated edition, this book provides biological sciences professionals with the fundamentals of contemporary mass spectrometry so that they can confidently choose and apply the best instrumentation and experimental approaches for their needs. The new edition now includes metabolomics, proteomics, protein-protein interactions and networks, MALDI, ESI, and nanoESI, as well as more applications for real-world problems. The only single-volume guide available, this text combines coverage of the latest instrumentation, techniques, and applications, making it an excellent working resource for experts and novices alike.
