Mass Spectrometry-Based Lipidomics - Fong-Fu Hsu - Bog

This detailed volume covers conventional MS-based ¿shotgun lipidomics¿ by which samples are introduced by infusion or loop injection, as well as LC-MS-based lipidomics, which are becoming increasingly important due to the ever-increasing demand for a complete and precise lipid analysis of the complex and diversified lipids in nature. The volume features protocols applying chemical reactions, the on-line photochemical reactions combined with various MS methods for comprehensive characterization of various lipid classes, and quantification of specific and rare lipids. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
Authoritative and practical, Mass Spectrometry-Based Lipidomics: Methods and Protocols serves asan invaluable guide for biochemists and mass spectroscopists who are interested in lipid studies.
