This fully updated book presents an account of areas of utility, techniques, and bioinformatic advancements in the field of lipidomics. Beginning with prools for lipid isolation and extraction, the volume continues with techniques from extractive mass spectrometry to imaging mass spectrometry methods allowing localization of lipids in tissues. These prools have been complemented by methods addressing specific problems from membranes, fractionated subcellular compartments or organelles to whole organisms. 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 and readily reproducible laboratory prools, as well as tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
Authoritative and practical,
Lipidomics: Methods and Prools, Second Edition
serves as an ideal guide for biochemists, molecular biologists, neuroscientists, vision research scientists, as well as all biomedical researchers with interest in disease discovery and drug development.
