Volume 2: Biological Applications Part A

The focus of Volume 2 is peptides and proteins. The organization emphasizes the separation techniques, preparation protocols, and foundations of the ionic gas-phase species of biological importance. This volume is divided into four sections: (1) experimental approaches and protocols, (2) sequence analysis, (3) other structural analyses, and (4) targeted applications.

The first section encompass separation procedures (eg, 2-D gel electrophoresis), sample preparation (eg, desalting and enzyme digestion), and instrumentation issues (eg, high resolving power, molecular weight, protein chips, and quantification). H / D exchange, analysis of membrane proteins, and bioinformatics are included.

The next section on the high energy and low energy CAD, protein identification, fundamentals of peptide fragmentation, bottom-up and top-down strategies, chemical derivatization, and post-source decay with MALDI. A section on structure, acoustics, protein-ligand complexes, disulfide analysis, phosphopeptides and phosphoproteins, selenoproteins, nitrated proteins, metal ion binding, and oxidized proteins.
