This volume explores the use of mass spectrometry for biomedical applications. Chapters focus
on specific therapeutic areas such as oncology infectious disease and psychiatry. Additional
chapters focus on methodology technologies and instrumentation as well as on analysis of
protein-protein interactions protein quantitation and protein post-translational
modifications. Various omics fields such as proteomics metabolomics glycomics lipidomics
and adductomics are also covered. Applications of mass spectrometry in biotechnological and
pharmaceutical industry are also discussed. This volume provides readers with a comprehensive
and informative manual that will allow them to appreciate mass spectrometry and proteomic
research but also to initiate and improve their own work. This book acts as a technical guide
as well as a conceptual guide to the newest information in this exciting field.
