Informationen zum Autor DANIEL FIGEYS, Ph.D., is the Director of the Ottowa Institute of Systems Biology. Prior to joining the institute, Dr. Figeys was senior vice president, systems biology at MDS Proteomics and a research officer at the NRC-Canada. He did his postdoc at the Department of Molecular Biotechnology in Seattle with Dr. R. Aebersold. Klappentext Industrial Proteomics addresses many of the key challenges faced by researchers in the field of proteomics. It enables them to better understand cellular function and apply their knowledge to make new advances in many fields, including drug discovery, agriculture, and health sciences. Written by a team of leading researchers in biotechnology and pharmaceutical sciences, the book also provides expert guidance for understanding, using, and interpreting the findings of such sophisticated tools as lab-on-a-chip and protein arrays.The first section of Industrial Proteomics introduces the field, beginning with a discussion of functional proteomics, including yeast two-hybrid assay, mass spectrometry, mapping of post-translational modifications, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. Next, structural proteomics is presented with detailed descriptions of X-ray crystallography, insilico prediction, and protein bioinformatics methods. The second section dedicates itself to current biotechnology and pharmaceutical research, replete with examples of actual research that demonstrate the most advanced applications. Topics in this section cover proteomic-based target discovery, biomarker discovery, late-stage drug discovery, crop improvement, and animal studies. The final section provides an expert forecast of the field's promising future, delving into areas such as protein arrays and the integration of genomic and proteomic tools.Whether you are a novice to the field looking for a solid introduction or an experienced researcher needing to develop your skills and knowledge to make further research advances, Industrial Proteomics is an essential reference. It provides a solid foundation, introduces today's exciting proteomics research, and points to the most promising areas for development. Zusammenfassung Covers basic elements and the advanced applications of proteomics. This book gives an introduction to the field, from differential approaches to functional proteomics, including yeast two hybrid, mass spectrometry, mapping of post translational modifications, and NMR spectroscopy.
