Proteomic Profiling and Analytical Chemistry, Second Edition: The Crossroads

Abstract

The book provides detailed coverage of experimental aspects such as sample preparation, protein extraction and precipitation, gel electrophoresis, microarrays, dynamics of fluorescent dyes, and more. The key feature of this book is a direct link between multistep proteomic strategy and quality control routinely applied in analytical chemistry. This second edition features a new chapter on SWATH-MS, substantial updates to all chapters, including proteomic database search and analytical quantification, expanded discussion of post-hoc statistical tests, and additional content on validation in proteomics. Covers the analytical consequences of protein and peptide modifications that may have a profound effect on how and what researchers actually measure. Includes practical examples illustrating the importance of problems in quantitation and validation of biomarkers. Helps in designing and executing proteomic experiments with sound analytics.
