Protein and Peptide Mass Spectrometry in Drug Discovery [PDF ebook] 

The book that highlights mass spectrometry and its application
in characterizing proteins and peptides in drug discovery

An instrumental analytical method for quantifying the mass and
characterization of various samples from small molecules to large
proteins, mass spectrometry (MS) has become one of the most widely
used techniques for studying proteins and peptides over the last
decade. Bringing together the work of experts in academia and
industry, Protein and Peptide Mass Spectrometry in Drug
Discovery highlights current analytical approaches, industry
practices, and modern strategies for the characterization of both
peptides and proteins in drug discovery.

Illustrating the critical role MS technology plays in
characterizing target proteins and protein products, the methods
used, ion mobility, and the use of microwave radiation to speed
proteolysis, the book also covers important emerging applications
for neuroproteomics and antigenic peptides. Placing an emphasis on
the pharmaceutical industry, the book stresses practice and
applications, presenting real-world examples covering the most
recent advances in mass spectrometry, and providing an invaluable
resource for pharmaceutical scientists in industry and academia,
analytical and bioanalytical chemists, and researchers in protein
science and proteomics.
