Covering a wide-ranging facet of a “gold-standard” targeted mass spectrometry (MS) method for the consistent detection and accurate quantification of preselected proteins in complex biological matrices, Selected Reaction Monitoring Mass Spectrometry (SRM-MS) in Proteomics: A Comprehensive View describes:The knowledge-based development of highly efficient SRM methodology including assay workflow, selection of proteins, peptides, transitions and its validation, and quality assessmentAvailable bioinformatic tools – for both pre-acquisition method development and post-MS acquisition data analysis and data repositoriesVarious relative and absolute quantification techniquesSRM-MS’ widespread applications in biomarker development and in clinical studies, as well as in the analysis of various posttranslational modifications (PTMs)Current challenges and contemporary trends to overcome those difficulties In addition,it features the historical development of modern-day mass spectrometry with its vivid applications and also covers basic MS instrumentation, ionization techniques, and various proteomics approaches. Comprehensive discussion, extensive references at the end of each chapter, and the list of review articles in the bibliography offer invaluable resources for advanced readings. Researchers from the undergraduate to postgraduate level and beyond in both academic or industry settings studying and working on mass spectrometry and/or proteomics will benefit from this book.
