Neuroproteomics: Methods and Protocols presents experimental
details for applying proteomics to the study of the central nervous
system (CNS) and its dysfunction through trauma and disease. The
target audience includes clinical or basic scientists who look to
apply proteomics to the neurosciences. Often researchers hear of
proteomics without an adequate explanation of the methodology and
inherent limitations. This volume conveys where proteomic
methodology is in its application to CNS research and what results
can be expected. We also address clinical translation of
neuroproteomics, specifically in the area of biomarker research.
The inception of neuroproteomics capitalized on rapid progress in
large-molecule mass spectrometry over the last decade. Two seminal
advances have spurred research - development of reliable
polypeptide ionization processes and bioinformatics to rapidly
process tandem mass spectra for peptide identification and
quantification. What has followed is the exponential application of
mass spectrometry to proteome characteri- tion across biological
and biomedical disciplines. Arguably, the most elaborate proteomic
implementation is in studying the CNS, the most enigmatic and
complex animal system. Neuroscience is characterized by grandiose
questions - what is consciousness, how does thought or memory work.
Neuroproteomics researchers, however, have pri- rily involved
themselves dysfunction, based on a pressing need (and invariably
funding), in answering questions on CNS dysfunction, based on a
pressing need (and invariably funding), and because such questions
hold more accessible answers. Dysfunction is readily contrasted
against normal function and presumably produces a lasting
differential protein signature.
