Editorial Reviews

Review

'The editors provide an excellent overview of the current approaches to quantative mRNA analysis ... This book represents a worthy attempt to bring the methodology of proteomics to the general and inexperienced researcher.' - Annals of Clinical Biochemistry --This text refers to an alternate Paperback edition.

4.0 out of 5 stars Review, May 11, 2001

By A Customer

This review is from: Proteomics: From Protein Sequence to Function (Paperback)

This book represents a collection of articles that review approaches and technologies useful in the analysis of global protein expression, or proteomics. An introduction to the relationship between genomics and so-called proteomics is followed by chapters devoted to genetic based methods to study protein expression, reviews of two-dimensional gel electrophroresis, mass spectrometry, image analysis, high throughput / automation and some applications. Despite the title of the book, there is little on protein function, and a major facet of proteomics, that is, quantitation is all but forgotten. Some chapters overly cite the authors own work and ignore others, some errors are also encountered. In Chapter 5 Patterson and co describe post souce decay or PSD as occuring IN the ion source and repeatedly refers to MS measurement of mass not, more correctly, mass-to-charge.
