Introducing Proteomics [EPUB ebook] 
From Concepts to Sample Separation, Mass Spectrometry and Data Analysis

Introducing Proteomics gives a concise and coherent overview
of every aspect of current proteomics technology, which is a
rapidly developing field that is having a major impact within the
life and medical sciences.

This student-friendly book, based on a successful course
developed by the author, provides its readers with sufficient
theoretical background to be able to plan, prepare, and analyze a
proteomics study.

The text covers the following:

* Separation Technologies

* Analysis of Peptides/Proteins by Mass Spectrometry

* Strategies in Proteomics

This contemporary text also includes numerous examples and
explanations for why particular strategies are better than others
for certain applications. In addition, Introducing
Proteomics includes extensive references and a list of relevant
proteomics information sources; essential for any student.

This no-nonsense approach to the subject tells students exactly
what they need to know, leaving out unnecessary information. The
student companion site enhances learning and provides answers to
the end of chapter problems.

’I think this book will be a popular and valuable resource for
students and newcomers to the field who would like to have an
overview and initial understanding of what proteomics is about. The
contents are well organized and address the major issues.’

–Professor Walter Kolch, Director, Systems Biology
Ireland & Conway Institute, University College Dublin
