Leading practitioners authoritatively describe the newest and most effective spectrometric techniques for the analysis of proteins and peptides. The areas covered range from the elucidation of primary and secondary protein structure and the rapid identification of proteins using database techniques to methods for sequencing, as well as methods for the quantitative determination of peptides. Other chapters provide detailed information on the analysis of glycoproteins and glycopeptides and on the use of mass spectrometry to probe the interactions of proteins, both covalent and noncovalent.

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.

Introduction to Protein Mass Spectrometry provides a comprehensive overview of this increasingly important, yet complex, analytical technique. Unlike many other methods which automatically yield an absolutely unique protein name as output, protein mass spectrometry generally requires a deduction of protein identity from determination of peptide fragmentation products. This book enables readers to both understand, and appreciate, how determinations about protein identity from mass spectrometric data are made. Coverage begins with the technical basics, including preparations, instruments, and spectrometric analysis of peptides and proteins, before exploring applied use in biological applications, bioinformatics, database, and software resources. Citing the most recent and relevant work in the field of biological mass spectrometry, the book is written for researchers and scientists new to the field, but is also an ideal resource for those hoping to hone their analytical abilities. - Offers introductory information for scientists and researchers new to the field, as well as advanced insight into the critical assessment of computer-analyzed mass spectrometric results and their current limitations - Provides examples of commonly-used MS instruments from Bruker, Applied Biosystems, JEOL, Thermo Scientific/Thermo Fisher Scientific, IU, and Waters - Includes biological applications and exploration of analytical tools and databases for bioinformatics

The purpose of this book is to collect into one volume the research done on the mass spectrometry of peptides. It balances a range of topics including theory, instrumentation, analytical techniques, and biological applications. The scope of the work contains three major sections: ionization methods, instrumental developments, and analysis of peptides. It describes 252Cf plasma desorption and laser-induced multiphoton ionization methodology. This exciting resource covers many new areas, including continuous flow FAB, quantification of human neuropeptides, and peptide mapping. It also discusses Q-FTMS, cross-links, and metal ions.

In this, the post-genomic age, our knowledge of biological systems continues to expand and progress. As the research becomes more focused, so too does the data. Genomic research progresses to proteomics and brings us to a deeper understanding of the behavior and function of protein clusters. And now proteomics gives way to neuroproteomics as we beg

This book is the first example in presenting LC-MS strategies for the analysis of peptides and proteins with detailed information and hints about the needs and problems described from experts on-the-job. The best advantage is -for sure- the practical insight of experienced analysts into their novel protein analysis techniques. Readers starting in 'Proteomics' should be able to repeat each experiment with own equipment and own protein samples, like clean-up, direct protein analysis, after (online) digest, with modifications and others. Furthermore, the reader will learn more about strategies in protein analysis, like quantitative analysis, industrial standards, functional analysis and more.

This volume aims to provide a timely view of the state-of-the-art in systems biology. The editors take the opportunity to define systems biology as they and the contributing authors see it, and this will lay the groundwork for future studies. The volume is well-suited to both students and researchers interested in the methods of systems biology. Although the focus is on plant systems biology, the proposed material could be suitably applied to any organism.

Little more than three years down the line and I am already writing the Preface to a second volume to follow Protein and Peptide Analysis by Mass . What has happened in between these times to make this second venture worthwhile? New types of mass spectrometric instrumentation have appeared so that new techniques have become possible and existing techniques have become much more feasible. More particularly, however, the newer ionization te- niques, introduced for the analysis of high molecular weight materials, have now been thoroughly used and studied. As a result, there has been an en- mous improvement in the associated sample handling technology so that these methods are now routinely applied to much smaller sample amounts as well as to more intractable samples. Again, this particular community of mass spectrometry users has both increased in number and diversified. And, riding this wave of acceptance, leaders in the field have set their sights on more complex problems: molecular interaction, ion structures, quantitation, and kinetics are just a few of the newer areas reported in Mass Spectrometry of Proteins and Peptides. As with the first volume, one purpose of this collection, Mass Spectr- etry of Proteins and Peptides, is to show the reader what can be done by the application of mass spectrometry, and perhaps even to encourage the reader to venture down new paths.

Interpreting Protein Mass Spectra is a hands-on laboratory guide for a wide range of researchers investigating the structures of proteins and peptides. The focus is on the interpretation of structural information gathered through electrospray ionization-mass spectrometry (ESI-MS). The book will also provide useful background and protocols for anyone using matrix-assisted laser desorption/ionization (MALDI), fast atom bombardment (FAB), and secondary ion mass spectrometry (SIMS). The book includes numerous practical examples, detailed discussions of experimental setups, and valuable hints for troubleshooting both methods and the handling of materials.
