This book has been prepared to start out with a basic introduction to mass spectrometry-based
proteomics. The introductory chapter is followed by chapters written by experts in specific
subdomains of MS-based proteomics. The experts present their view on specific MS-based
methods or data analysis strategies in proteomics. The book is written with the purpose of
covering specific topics in detail rather than glossing over the topic. Detailed discussion is
made possible since Springer allowed no page restriction on the experts’ chapters.
