Introducing Proteomics. from Concepts to Sample Separation, Mass Spectrometry and Data Analysis (Softcover)

Description

Introduction to Proteomics gives a concise and coherent overview of every aspect of current proteomics technology. The book provides students with sufficient theoretical background to be able to plan, prepare, and analyze a proteomics study. Covering an Introduction, Separation Technologies, Analysis of Peptides/Proteins by Mass Spectrometry, and Strategies in Proteomics, this book also includes numerous examples and explanations for why particular strategies are better than others for certain applications. In addition, the book includes extensive references and a list of relevant proteomics information sources.
