The definitive guide to peptidomics- a hands-on lab reference
The first truly comprehensive book about peptidomics for protein
and peptide analysis, this reference provides a detailed
description of the hows and whys of peptidomics and how the
techniques have evolved. With chapters contributed by leading
experts, it covers naturally occurring peptides, peptidomics
methods and new developments, and the peptidomics approach to
biomarker discovery. Explaining both the principles and the
applications, Peptidomics: Methods and Applications:
* Features examples of applications in diverse fields, including
pharmaceutical science, toxicity biomarkers, and neuroscience
* Details the successful peptidomic analyses of biological material
ranging from plants to mammals
* Describes a cross section of analytical techniques, including
traditional methodologies, emerging trends, and new techniques for
high throughput approaches
An enlightening reference for experienced professionals, this book
is sufficiently detailed to serve as a step-by-step guide for
beginning researchers and an excellent resource for students taking
biotechnology and proteomics courses. It is an invaluable reference
for protein chemists and biochemists, professionals and researchers
in drug and biopharmaceutical development, analytical and
bioanalytical chemists, toxicologists, and others.
