What Are the Applications of Mass Spectrometry in Bioanalytical Sciences?
Mass spectrometry has a wide range of applications in bioanalytical sciences, including:
Proteomics: Identifying and quantifying proteins and their post-translational modifications. Metabolomics: Profiling small molecules and metabolites in biological samples. Pharmacokinetics: Studying the absorption, distribution, metabolism, and excretion (ADME) of drugs. Clinical Diagnostics: Detecting biomarkers for diseases and monitoring therapeutic drug levels. Environmental Analysis: Analyzing pollutants and contaminants in environmental samples.
