This volume focuses on protein analysis covering a wide spectrum of the utility of mass spectrometry within neurobiological disciplines. The chapters in this book discuss label (iTRAQ, TMT, protein arrays) and label-free workflows (SWATH, MALDI Imaging, and label-free quantitation). Other chapters look at experimental strategies targeted to the identification and quantitation of specific lipids and post-translational modifications, as well as proteomic workflows that focus on characterization of subcellular proteomes. The last few chapters in the book describe various bioinformatics pipelines used to analyze the molecular data derived from high-throughput transcriptomic and proteomic experiments on brain tissue. The Neuromethods series offers chapters with key advice and procedure specifics to empower the readers to successfully achieve their own scientific and experimental goals.Thorough and comprehensive, Current Proteomic Approaches Applied to Brain Function is a valuable resource for graduate students and postdoctoral fellows interested in neuroproteomics, as well as researchers looking for further insight into the growing field of mass spectrometry in neuroscience.
