Mass spectrometry of biological materials

the long version

"Completely rewritten and enlarged by internationally recognized scientists from industry and academia, Mass Spectrometry of Biological Materials, Second Edition reviews the ionization methods and instrumentation used in the analysis of biological materials ... introduces new instrumental technology that can solve fundamental problems in biology ... demonstrates techniques for isolating and identifying target molecules in complex mixtures that are often present in only trace amounts ... describes methods for characterizing proteins at very low levels of sample material ... analyzes noncovalent interactions and the use of hydrogen/deuterium exchange for tertiary structure determination ... explains the characterization of oligonucleotides and DNA ... supplies in-depth coverage of screening protein databases using data generated by mass spectrometry ... and more."--BOOK JACKET.
