Introduction to Protein Mass Spectrometry

provides a comprehensive overview of this increasingly important, yet complex, analytical technique. Unlike many other methods which automatically yield an absolutely unique protein name as output, protein mass spectrometry generally requires a deduction of protein identity from determination of peptide fragmentation products.

This book enables readers to both understand, and appreciate, how determinations about protein identity from mass spectrometric data are made. Coverage begins with the technical basics, including preparations, instruments, and spectrometric analysis of peptides and proteins, before exploring applied use in biological applications, bioinformatics, database, and software resources.

Citing the most recent and relevant work in the field of biological mass spectrometry, the book is written for researchers and scientists new to the field, but is also an ideal resource for those hoping to hone their analytical abilities.

Offers introductory information for scientists and researchers new to the field, as well as advanced insight into the critical assessment of computer-analyzed mass spectrometric results and their current limitations
Provides examples of commonly-used MS instruments from Bruker, Applied Biosystems, JEOL, Thermo Scientific/Thermo Fisher Scientific, IU, and Waters
Includes biological applications and exploration of analytical tools and databases for bioinformatics

Industry Reviews

"...provides a thorough overview of this progressively important and widely used analytical technique...Each chapter is well illustrated. The bibliography is also up to date...should be on the electronic bookshelf of investigators as well as of science libraries." --Clinical Biochemistry "...especially valuable for researchers with more biological or medical backgrounds, allowing them to gain a better appreciation for the capabilities of mass spectrometry-based techniques...currently the most up-to-date, comprehensive, introductory textbook on protein mass spectrometry." --Analytical and Bioanalytical Chemistry
