Introducing Proteomics: From Concepts to Sample Separation, Mass Spectrometry and Data Analysis - Softcover
Synopsis
Introducing Proteomics, Second Edition gives a concise and coherent overview of every aspect of current proteomics technology. It provides students with sufficient theoretical background to be able to plan, prepare and analyse a proteomics study. The book is divided into five sections: Introduction; Separation Technologies; Analysis of Peptides/Proteins by Mass Spectrometry; and Strategies in Proteomics. As well as covering all aspects of the subject, it will include numerous examples and explanations for why particular strategies are better than others for certain applications. In addition the book will include extensive references and a list of relevant proteomics information sources.
By presenting a coherent overview, rather than detailed protocols, Introducing Proteomics will provide students with:
- a sound understanding of the subject,
- an awareness of its strengths and limitations,
- the ability to assess the viability for various applications.
Updates for the Second edition:
The new edition will have improved full colour figures to illustrate concepts and methods. There will be associated multimedia available in the form of videos of proteomic methods along with interactive MCQs on an associated website. Content will be revised to include up-to-date examples and strategies in proteomics and a greater focus on proteomics for industry as well as academic research.

Review
"He introduces undergraduate students to the general principles and methods of the field without delving very deeply into any of the details. Graduate students and researchers could also use the book to refresh their memory or catch up with recent developments." (Booknews, 1 June 2011)
From the Back Cover
Introducing Proteomics provides an accessible introduction to current proteomics technology, including all of the background information necessary to enable readers to plan, prepare and analyze proteomics studies. Engaging and packed with expert advice, this indispensable guide will appeal to both students and researchers new to the field alike.
Key Features:
- Contemporary, broad coverage covers every important aspect of this rapidly changing field from 2–d gel electrophoretic methods, peptide based shotgun proteomics, the main ionization methods and detailed mass spectrometric principles and applications as well as an introduction to the use of protein/RNA and DNA databases to data analysis and the main features of proteomics data mining software.
- Coherent and student friendly focuses on what readers need to know about each area of proteomics whilst providing pointers towards more specialized literature for those that are keen to find out more.
- Relevant explores the power and limitations of current proteomics approaches throughout the book to give readers a realistic idea about which results and challenges to expect from any combination of technologies. The concluding part of the book explores real–world case studies to illustrate how proteomics technologies perform in practice whilst dedicated chapters focus on the analysis of post translational modifications and biomarker discovery.
- Companion website provides a range of problems for self testing with answers, extensive references and links to additional, key proteomics resources.
I think this book will be a popular and valuable resource for students and newcomers to the field who would like to have an overview and initial understanding of what proteomics is about. The contents are well organized and address the major issues. Professor Walter Kolch, Director, Systems Biology Ireland & Conway Institute, University College Dublin
