Product Description
The Advanced Text series is designed for students taking advanced-level courses, including upper-level undergraduates and graduate students. Titles in this series will also be invaluable to researchers new to a field, and to established researchers as a basic reference text.
Proteomics is a major new area of scientific research driven by the growing information gap between genes and their functions. Large-scale DNA sequencing and annotation projects identify thousands of new genes on a daily basis but the functions of these genes remain largely unknown. Proteins are the actual functional molecules of the cell, and technical advances in the high-throughout analysis of proteins now allow these molecules to be studied directly. Principles of Proteomics provides a comprehensive introduction to this relatively new field, for the first time bringing together all the disparate themes of proteomics. The book covers the development of large-scale technologies for protein separation, isolation, detection and quantitation. It describes in detail the role of mass spectrometry in high-throughput protein annotation. It also covers the emerging fields of structural proteomics, interaction proteomics and the recent development of chip-based analysis techniques. The final chapter provides some examples of how proteomics is being applied in the fields of medicine, biotechnology and agriculture. Each chapter ends with a short bibliography containing some classic papers and useful reviews for further reference.

Customer Reviews:
A moderately good source for someone pursuing proteomics June 28, 2007
Eric Phillips
The illustrations were the best I have seen for a text explaining this subject. There are not alot of books about proteomics out there, but this is a must have for the introduction to this wonderful yet esoteric field. If you have no previous knowledge of biochemistry this book will be a very tough read. Enjoy.
A very good introduction February 18, 2006

This is a very good introduction and general review of the field of proteomics. It is excellent for those with little or no experience in the field. Because of the rapid changes occurring in this new science it does not include review of many of the useful software tools that have been developed.
