The Encyclopedia of Mass Spectrometry Volume 2: Biological Applications Part A The Encyclopedia of Mass Spectrometry, Ten-Volume Set Series

The focus of Volume 2 of the Encyclopedia of Mass Spectrometry is on peptides and proteins, separation techniques, preparation protocols, and the fundamental characteristics as ionic gas phase species that lie within the breadth of the field of mass spectrometry. This volume is divided into four sections; experimental approaches and protocols, sequence analysis, other structural analyses, and targeted applications.
