Biological Mass Spectrometry

Biological Mass Spectrometry

Mass spectrometry is a classical analytical technique that measures the mass of an ionized molecule at very high accuracy in the gas phase. Continued advancements in ionization techniques, genomics, and computational tools have made mass spectrometry one of the most widely used and powerful analytical tools in biological chemistry and the emerging systems biology field of proteomics. Proteomics is the examination of the complete protein complement of a cell, tissue, or organism.  High resolution mass spectrometers are the workhorse instruments for most proteomic applications due to their ability to rapidly and precisely determine the identity of a wide variety of biomolecules on a global scale.
