Description
Book SynopsisPrinciples of Mass Spectrometry Applied to Biomolecules teaches readers how to use what they know about Mass Spectrometry's advantages and limitations to develop novel ways of using the technique for the analysis of proteins and other biomolecules.
Trade Review"this is a very impressive volume, which I recommend to anyone interested in fundamental principles governing peptide and protein ion behavior in the gas phase." (
Journal of the American Chemical Society, April 4, 2007)
"...the book is well written with numerous companion figures and tables and extensive up-to-date references..." (Journal of the American Society for Mass Spectrometry, April 2007)
