Acceleration and Improvement of Protein Identification by Mass Spectrometry

Download or read book Acceleration and Improvement of Protein Identification by Mass Spectrometry written by Willy Vincent Bienvenut and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2005-04-19 with total page 324 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: At present where protein identification and characterisation using mass spectrometry is a method of choice, this book is presenting a review of basic proteomic techniques. The second part of the book is related to the novel high throughput protein identification technique called the 'molecular scanner'. Several protein identification techniques are described, especially the peptide mass fingerprint with MALDI-MS based method. E.g. ionisation process, matrix available, signal reproducibility and suppression effect, as well as date treatment for protein identification using bioinformatics tools.
