Protein NMR Spectroscopy: Practical Techniques and Applications
Date: Jul 22, 2011
Author: Gordon Roberts, Lu-Yun Lian
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy, a physical phenomenon based upon the magnetic properties of certain atomic nuclei, has found a wide range of applications in life sciences over recent decades. The dramatic advances in NMR techniques have led to corresponding advances in the ability of NMR to study structure, dynamics and interactions of biological macromolecules in solution under close to physiological conditions. This volume focuses on the use of NMR to study proteins. NMR can be used to...

Illicit Drugs in the Environment: Occurrence, Analysis, and Fate using Mass Spectrometry
Date: May 13, 2011
Author: Sara Castiglioni, Ettore Zuccato, Roberto Fanelli
Illicit drugs are an emerging class of environmental contaminants and mass spectrometry is the technique of choice for their analysis. This landmark reference discusses the analytical techniques used to detect illicit drugs in wastewater and surface water, details how to estimate the levels of contaminants in the environment, and explores the behavior, fate, and toxic effects of this new class of contaminants, now a ubiquitous presence in wastewater and surface water. The book details how an estimate of...

Platelet Proteomics: Principles, Analysis, and Applications
Date: May 10, 2011
Author: Ángel García-Alonso, Yotis Senis
The purpose of the book is to introduce platelets, and their functional role in thrombotic and cardiovascular disease, justifying the relevance of platelet proteomics research. Focus then shifts to the recent developments on mass spectrometry (MS)-based proteomics. This chapter shows potential applications for platelet proteomics not yet carried out. It includes examples of post-translational modifications (PTMs) analysis in platelets. The second part of the book focuses on the main research...
