Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The last few years have seen an unprecedented drive toward theapplication of proteomics to resolving challenging biomedical andbiochemical tasks. Separation techniques combined with modern massspectrometry are playing a central role in this drive. This bookdiscusses the increasingly important role of mass spectrometry inproteomic research, and emphasizes recent advances in the existingtechnology and describes the advantages and pitfalls as well. * Provides a scientifically valid method for analyzing theapproximatey 500,000 proteins that are encoded in the humangenome * Explains the hows and whys of using mass spectrometry inproteomic analysis * Brings together the latest approaches combining separationtechniques and mass spectrometry and their application in proteomeanalysis * Comments on future challenges and how they may be addressed * Includes sections on troubleshooting
