Protein Sequencing Protocols

Bryan Smith draws together in Protein Sequencing Protocols a timely collection of current and state-of-the-art techniques for protein and peptide preparation and sequencing-all described by hands-on masters of the procedures. These well-tested methods convey valuable lessons and insights into using automated sequencers and/or mass spectrometers, preparing proteins and peptides on a microgram and submicrogram scale, mapping peptides, analyzing amino acid by pre- and post-column derivatization methods, and sequencing N- and C-terminal peptides by classical and newly developed techniques. They also deal with such troublesome problems as identifying sites of modification and handling very small samples. Protein Sequencing Protocols offers self-contained, step-by-step recipes that ensure easily reproducible results for those already doing sequencing, and for those who are still learning the methods, as well as for those already in one area but wishing to learn associated techniques. Its multiplicity of proven protocols will guide the challenged experimenter to successful results.

"Bryan John Smith updates his much-acclaimed first edition of Protein Sequencing Protocols with new and refreshed techniques for determining the sequence of proteins and peptides. This edition includes not only novel approaches to the validation of quality assurance methods, reflecting the current importance of biopharmaceuticals, but also offers a guide to the analysis of protein sequence information via the powerful new tools of bioinformatics. Each readily reproducible protocol contains detailed step-by-step instructions to ensure successful experimental results, along with notes on troubleshooting and how to avoid pitfalls. Valuable appendices summarize changes in mass arising from protein modification, as well as consensus sequences for protein modification. Comprehensive and up-to-date, Protein Sequencing Protocols, Second Edition, provides both novice and expert investigators alike a ready source of easy-to-follow protocols that simplify choosing the most appropriate method for protein sequence determination and thus help assure robust results."@en
