"Over the last several years, new emphasis has been placed on the application of proteomics to perform demanding biomedical and biochemical tasks. Proteomics Today clearly describes the contributions of the latest approaches - separation techniques, modern mass spectrometry, two-dimensional electrophoresis, and microarray technology - in meeting these challenges. The emerging roles of imaging mass spectrometry and protein interaction maps are also addressed." "A must-have guide for scientists and laboratory technicians who study proteins in the pharmaceutical and biotechnology industries, Proteomics Today includes helpful introductions to chapters, complete references, plus insights into future challenges. More than any other resource, Proteomics Today explains how mass spectrometry and its associated tools can turn today's proteomic research challenges into tomorrow's biomedical opportunities."--Jacket
