Pittsburgh, Pa--Mass Spectrometry has become one of the most important tools in the biochemical sciences with capabilities ranging from small molecule analysis to protein characterization. Because of this versatility, mass spectrometry is the technology many scientists are turning to. Gary Siuzdak's The Expanding Role of Mass Spectrometry in Biotechnology covers the basic concepts in mass spectrometry as well as advanced topics including protein identification/protein structural analysis, carbohydrate and oligonucleotide analysis. Topics also include pharmacokinetics, high throughput screening and the recent development of mass spectrometry in clinical diagnosis.

Features include:

• Abundant Illustrations

• Mass spectrometry Basics

• Protein Identification

• Carbohydrate Analysis

• Steroid Analysis

• Pharmacokinetics/High throughput Applications
