Introduction to Proteomic

Proteomics: Introduction to Methods and Applications is geared toward students who are genuinely new to proteomics.  It is written by seasoned researchers with years of practical experience in proteomics research.  In addition to comprehensive discussions of the basic concepts, techniques, and applications, the text includes an extensive glossary and a chapter containing laboratory exercises and protocols.  While mass spectrometry is central to proteomics, the book discusses all of the analytical techniques a student is likely to need when faced with real-world problems, such as sample preparation, chromatographic and electrophoretic separation, micro-total analysis systems, and bioinformatics.  An appendix includes information on posttranslational modifications, web addresses, and the masses and compositions of amino acid residues. Originally published in Polish, the English version will include new contributors from around the world, updating the book with chapters on microdevices and protein-protein interactions.
