Preface The aim of this book is to be a useful resource for experienced proteomics practitioners as well as an aid to newcomers in order to become acquainted with the theory and practice of a wide array of mass spectrometric techniques for proteome research. The role of mass spectrometry (MS) in proteomics has gradually evolved from being a technique used to identify proteins in gels to be the preferred method for protein detection and quantification. Seminal work at the beginning of this century demonstrated that the hyphenation of liquid chromatography with tandem mass spectrometry (LC-MS/MS) allowed the protein biochemist to quantify thousands of proteins within time frames that make these techniques powerful readouts for biological experiments. Consequently, LC-MS/MS has found a niche in many different areas of biological and biomedical research, mainly due to the introduction of user-friendly and high-performance instrumentation and because of the development of new
