Acceleration and Improvement of Protein Identification by Mass Spectrometry

"This book is timely. It reviews in a concise form most techniques that should be known by scientists working in a proteomics laboratory or analysing proteins of interest. It first reviews the electrophoretic and chromatographic separation methods. It then summarizes the quantification and identification methods such as immuno-blotting, protein chemistry, peptide fingerprinting or sequencing by fragmentation. Several chapters highlight fascinating developments in the field of mass spectrometry and related techniques. The text shows the reader the perspective of this relatively new field of proteomics.

Finally, the book lists numerous references to critical work done many years ago and unavailable on computer databases. It should therefore be part of every laboratory’s library."
