Mass Spectra of Flavors and Fragrances of Natural and Synthetic Compounds, 3rd Edition
Date: Aug 31, 2015
Author: Luigi Mondello
Advanced Flavor and Fragrance Component Identification in Complex Mixtures Essential oils are mixtures consisting of monoterpene and sesquiterpene monocarbons, their oxygenated derivatives, and aliphatic oxygenated compounds. The difficulties that arise in he GC-MS peak identification of these complex samples is due to the fact that many terpense have identical mass spectra. This is a consequence of similiarities both in the initial molecule, or in the fragmentation patterns and rearrangements after...

Hydrogen Exchange Mass Spectrometry of Proteins
Date: Jul 3, 2015
Author: David Weis
Hydrogen exchange mass spectrometry is widely recognized for its ability to probe the structure and dynamics of proteins. The application of this technique is becoming widespread due to its versatility for providing structural information about challenging biological macromolecules such as antibodies, flexible proteins and glycoproteins. Although the technique has been around for 25 years, this is the first definitive book devoted entirely to the topic. Hydrogen Exchange Mass Spectrometry of Proteins:...

Analyzing Biomolecular Interactions by Mass Spectrometry
Date: May 15, 2015
Author: Jeroen Kool, Wilfried M. A. Niessen
This monograph reviews all relevant technologies based on mass spectrometry that are used to study or screen biological interactions in general. Arranged in three parts, the text begins by reviewing techniques nowadays almost considered classical, such as affinity chromatography and ultrafiltration, as well as the latest techniques. The second part focusses on all MS-based methods for the study of interactions of proteins with all classes of biomolecules. Besides pull down-based approaches, this section...
