Metabolomics: Methods and Protocols examines the state-of-the-art in metabolomic analysis. Leading researchers in the field present protocols for the application of complementary analytical methods, such as gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS). Metabolomics: Methods and Protocols contains forward-looking protocols, which provide the essential groundwork for future efforts in elucidating the structure of the unknowns detected in metabolomic studies. Part I of this volume focuses on GC-MS techniques; specifically, attention is given to metabolite profiling in blood plasma, construction and application of mass spectral and retention time index libraries, and metabolomic profiling of natural volatiles. In Part II, emphasis shifts to data integration and data mining techniques, and specific protocols discuss improving pattern recognition and biomarker selection for systems level approaches, and visualization and analysis of molecular and metabolomic data. Parts III, IV, and V examine the coupling of capillary electrophoresis and mass spectrometry, classical reversed phase liquid chromatography-mass spectrometry, and electrochemical detection of metabolites using HPLC separations coupled with coulometric electrode array detectors. In Part VI, protocols for the determination of metabolic flux rates are presented and a theoretical framework for metabolic pathway network analysis is provided. The volume concludes with an examination of cutting-edge NMR protocols.

Plant Proteomics: Methods and Protocols, Second Edition presents recent advances made in the field of proteomics and their application to plant biology and translational research. In recent years, improvements in techniques and protocols for high-throughput proteomics have been made at all workflow stages, from wet (sampling, tissue and cell fractionation, protein extraction, depletion, purification, separation, MS analysis, quantification) to dry lab (experimental design, algorithms for protein identification, bioinformatics tools for data analysis, databases, and repositories). Divided into nine convenient sections, chapters cover topics such as applications of gel-free, label- or label-free, imaging and targeted approaches to experimental model systems, crops and orphan species, as well as the study and analysis of PTMs, protein interactions, and specific families of proteins, and finally proteomics in translational research. Written in the successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible protocols, and notes on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.   Authoritative and easily accessible, Plant Proteomics: Methods and Protocols, Second Edition seeks to serve both professionals and novices looking to exploit the full potential of proteomics in plant biology research.
