Download or read book Protein and Peptide Analysis by Mass Spectrometry written by J. R. Chapman and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1996-08-19 with total page 368 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Leading practitioners authoritatively describe the newest and most effective spectrometric techniques for the analysis of proteins and peptides. The areas covered range from the elucidation of primary and secondary protein structure and the rapid identification of proteins using database techniques to methods for sequencing, as well as methods for the quantitative determination of peptides. Other chapters provide detailed information on the analysis of glycoproteins and glycopeptides and on the use of mass spectrometry to probe the interactions of proteins, both covalent and noncovalent.
