Applications of Nanomaterials in Proteomics

This book provides a comprehensive and systematic overview of the latest advances in nanomaterials for proteomics, both theoretical and practical. Consisting of seven chapters, it first covers the synthesis methods, characterization, principles, and performance of functional nanomaterials in various branches of proteomics in detail. This is followed by the applications of nanomaterials for the separation and analysis of various proteins and peptides. Given its scope, the book appeals to a broad readership, including those active in proteomics and materials science; it can also serve as a reference book for students majoring in proteomics analysis.

Introduces readers to the latest advances in nanomaterials for proteomics Describes the design and preparation of specific functionalized nanomaterials in proteomics Highlights the application of nanomaterials for separation and analysis of proteins
