Download or read book Proteome Research: Mass Spectrometry written by Peter James and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2000-10-26 with total page 306 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Recent advances in large scale DNA sequencing technology have made it possible to sequence the entire genome of an organism. Attention is now turning to the analysis of the product of the genome, the proteome, which is the set of proteins being expressed by a cell. Mass spectrometry is the method of choice for the rapid large-scale identification of these proteomes and their modifications. This is the first book to extensively cover the applications of mass spectrometry to proteome research.
