Description
Proceedings of the 1998 symposium in which leading practitioners detailed revolutionary new spectrometric techniques for the identification and covalent structural characterization of macromolecules, proteins, glycoconjugates, and nucleic acids. Twenty-six contributions discuss key points including biological mass spectrometry; powerful mass spectrometric techniques; new data and protocols in protein biology, glycobiology, and nucleic acid research; reviews of 2-D gels, database interrogation, and protein posttranslational modifications; and extremely sensitive techniques for sequencing peptides and identifying proteins.

Leading practitioners detail revolutionary new spectrometric techniques for the identification and covalent structural characterization of macromolecules, proteins, glycoconjugates, and nucleic acids. Based on the Fourth International Symposium on Mass Spectrometry in the Health and Life Sciences held in San Francisco in 1998, this invaluable book contains tested strategies for solving many significant biomedical research problems. The techniques use mass spectrometry, automated computer processing of spectral information, and gene, protein, and EST databases for genomic and proteomic correlations. Mass Spectrometry in Biology and Medicine offers a unique opportunity to explore and apply these new techniques of mass spectrometry that are revolutionizing the identification and structural characterization of proteins, carbohydrates, and nucleic acids.
