From Genome to Proteome: Advances in the Practice and Application of Proteomics [Hardcover]

Michael J. Dunn (Editor)

Book Description

Publication Date: February 14, 2000

As research on the human, animal, plant and microbial genomes matures towards descriptive fullness, the need for understanding the proteome has clearly emerged as the next major endeavor of life sciences. Proteomics - the quantitative analysis of all proteins working in a cell at a specific time and at specific conditions - provides deep insight into the highly organized network of expression, modification and degradation of proteins.
Compiled in this book are reviews and research articles which describe the recent advances and perspectives of this new field of research. The articles are grouped into the following sections:
- Sample Preparation and Solubilization
- Developments in Electrophoresis
- Detection and Quantitation
- Mass Spectrometry
- Proteome Data Analysis and Management
- Prokayotes and Yeast
- Biological Fluids
- Eukaryotic Cells and Tissue
- Oncology
- Plants
Proteomics is a new key for the functional analysis of living systems and of equal importance for basic as well as application oriented research.

From Genome to Proteome Advances in the Practice and Application of Proteomics Edited by Michael J. Dunn As research on the human, animal, plant and microbial genomes matures towards descriptive fullness, the need for understanding the proteome has clearly emerged as the next major endeavour of life sciences. Proteomics — the quantitative analysis of all proteins working in a cell at a specific time and at specific conditions — provides deep insight into the highly organised network of expression, modification and degradation of proteins. Compiled in this book are reviews and research articles published in Electrophoresis and Angewandte Chemie (International Edition) in 1999 which describe the recent advances and perspectives of this new field of research. The articles are grouped into the following sections:

This review is from: From Genome to Proteome: Advances in the Practice and Application of Proteomics (Hardcover)

This book (more than 500 pages) combined about 68 articles already published in "Electrophoresis" journal in 1999. The selected contents about proteome analysis (such as reviews, 2-DE, mass spectrometry, cell and tissue, ...) is categorized into different sections. It's good to review or find any approach and application about proteomics from these articles. But, this book is not worth if you can access the journal online (I mean you or your institution subscribe for it). I think I have about 99% of articles collected in this book in PDF files and some print out.
