Applied Electrospray Mass Spectrometry: Practical Spectroscopy Series Volume 32 / Edition 1

by Birendra N. Pramanik, A.K. Ganguly, Michael L. Gross

Overview

Discussing strategies to determine the structure and machanisms of numerous compound classics, this book covers new chemical and elctrophoretic techniques for rapid sample preconcentration and separation. It summarizes breakthroughs in the theory and instrumentation of electrospray mass spectrometry in pharmaceutical and biomedical applications, provides practical examples for the characterization of peptides, proteins, and glycoproteins, includes applications in proteomics, combinatorial chemistry, and drug characterization. Topics include chemical and electrophoretic techniques for rapid sample preconcentration and separation, screening processes for proteins from libraries of compounds, protein folding and dynamics, and more.

From the Publisher

Focusing on the application of mass spectrometric analysis to pharmaceutical, peptide, and protein chemistry, this volume contains 11 articles written by contributors from industry and academia. The volume begins with a historical review of the ESI technique including its principles and instrumentation, a description of nanospray development, and applications in macromolecules. Chapters that follow address applications of small molecules; peptides and proteins; noncovalent complexes; special topics in protein folding and unfolding; and clinical and biomedical applications. A number of chapters should be of great interest to scientists in the pharmaceutical industries. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
