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

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:Sample Preparation and SolubilizationDevelopments in ElectrophoresisDetection and QuantitationMass SpectrometryProteome Data Analysis and ManagementProkaryotes and YeastBiological FluidsEukaryotic Cells and TissueOncologyPlantsProteomics is a new key for the functional analysis of living systems and of equal importance for basic as well as application oriented research.Dunn, Michael J. is the author of 'From Genome to Proteome: Advances in the Practice and Application of Proteomics', published 2000 under ISBN 9783527301546 and ISBN 3527301542.
