Introduction to Protein Mass Spectrometry

In Introduction to Protein Mass Spectrometry, 2nd Edition, author Pradip K. Ghosh presents a systematic overview of mass spectrometry as applied to protein analysis. Published by Academic Press in 2024, the volume outlines foundational physical principles and primary laboratory procedures used to evaluate biological samples.

The organizing logic connects basic sample preparations and mass spectrometry instrumentation directly to the identification and spectrometric analysis of peptides and proteins. Subsequent sections extend these analytical foundation topics into practical biological applications, supported by dedicated treatments of mass spectrometry-based bioinformatics tools, database repositories, and specialized software platforms.

This edition incorporates targeted technical material on proximity-labelling mass spectrometry. The volume provides practical context for analytical chemists, biochemists, drug discovery scientists, medicinal chemists, and biologists, as well as researchers and scientists who are new to the field.
