Mass Spectrometry of Nucleosides and Nucleic Acids

Assembling the work of an international panel of researchers, this volume summarizes and reviews the latest developments in the field of nucleic acid research by mass spectrometry and provides a window on the next generation of analysis. It highlights the most popular ionization methods and illustrates the diverse strategies used in the characterization and sequencing of novel nucleosides and nucleotides. It also covers deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA), DNA-adducts, DNA-drug complexes, ribonucleic acid (RNA) oligomers of biomedical importance, RNA-protein complexes, and post-transcriptional modifications. The contributions presented in this volume capture the range of these advances, helping to inspire new findings and avenues of research.
