Structure-Based Drug Discovery presents an array of methods used to generate crystal structures of biological macromolecules, how to leverage the structural information to design novel ligands anew, and how to iteratively optimize hits and convert them to leads.
In this succinct and practical guide, expert contributors cover standard and novel techniques that facilitate the study of stem cell migration. The book emphasizes in vivo technologies and includes protocols on germ, neuronal, and hematopoietic stem cells.
From the early days when RNA interference was a strange artifact in worms to the 2006 Noble Prize received by Fire and Mello and the current clinical trials, the field of RNA interference has grown at a breakneck pace.
Membrane proteins play a key role in numerous pathologies such as cancer, cystic fibrosis, epilepsy, hyperinsulinism, and Alzheimer’s disease, yet studies on these and other disorders are hampered by a lack of information about the proteins involved.
Coupling features of chromatography and mass spectrometry, SELDI is a popular method of biomarker discovery. This volume reviews its current applications, emphasizing study and experimental design, data analysis and interpretation, and assay development.
This book examines vital topics in protein biochemistry and presents methods involving the generation and purification of recombinant proteins through recombinant antibody production and the tagging of proteins, as well as variations on classic techniques.
In this book, leading investigators present a broad, up-to-date collection of current research and experimental methods for the isolation, characterization, production, and optimization of AMPs. The book covers a rapidly expanding field of research.
