Description
Book SynopsisThe 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
