From Proteins to Proteomics: Basic Concepts, Techniques, and Applications

Proteomics aims to study all the proteins of human and other living  systems, as well as their properties to provide an integrated view of  cellular processes. The study of proteomics involves the application of  rapidly evolving high-throughput technologies and new platforms that are  coming forward regularly, providing versatile novel tools for  biomedical and pharmaceutical applications.

This book provides a  detailed understanding of the basics of proteins and proteomics, gel  based-proteomics techniques, basics of mass spectrometry and  quantitative proteomics, interactomics: basics and applications, and  advancements in proteomics. It also covers basic knowledge about sample  preparation, mass spectrometry workflow, different chromatography  technologies and quantitative proteomics.

The text highlights the  application and challenges of various high-throughput integrated  proteomics technologies capable of fast and accurate screening of  thousands of biomolecules, which are found to be very effective for  studying disease pathobiology and identification of next-generation  biomarkers and potential drug/vaccine targets; and are therefore  considered valuable tools for multidisciplinary research.
