Protein Protocols Handbook (Methods in Molecular Biology) [Paperback]

John M. Walker (Editor)

Book Description

ISBN-10: 0896039412 | ISBN-13: 978-0896039414 | Publication Date: February 1, 2002 | Edition: 2nd

This greatly enhanced second edition introduces 60 critically important new chapters dealing with topics and techniques that have emerged since the first edition, as well as significantly updating the remaining articles. The new chapters cover with many rapidly developing areas, particularly the application of mass spectrometry in protein characterization, as well as the now well-established 2-D PAGE technique in proteomics. The section on glycoprotein analysis has also been significantly expanded, and methods for the production of single-chain and phage-displayed antibodies have been added to the section on antibodies. Each readily reproducible method follows the highly praised format of the Methods in Molecular Biology™ series, offering a concise summary of its basic theory, a complete materials list, a step-by-step protocol for its successful execution, and extensive notes on avoiding pitfalls and on modifying the method to function within your own experimental circumstances.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"the breadth of techniques covered is large and this alone makes the book of practical value. . .The protocols are provided with sufficient detail so as to allow implementation as new methods in any working laboratory. . .It can easily be envisioned that this book would become the subject of a tug of war in a busy laboratory. Most investigators will find value here as will students working in almost any area dealing with proteins. . .This is a compilation not found in other single sources. The very broad scope has considerable practical value. I personally want this in my laboratory."-Doody's Health Sciences Book Review Journal

"The wide acceptance of this handbook in the former edition has resulted to this second thoroughly revised and extended second edition considering the recent significant developments in the field of protein chemistry. It is an excellent collection of methods and protocols, giving an essential and compact guide for those new as well as those well established to protein laboratory techniques." - Ernahrungforschung

Review of the first edition:
