These include methods and techniques to identify regulatory RNAs, characterizing the function and expression of regulatory RNAs in bacterial cells, RNA structure prediction, and interactions between regulatory RNAs and proteins.
This Methods in Molecular Biology(TM) volume offers methodologies enabling researchers to interrogate every aspect of mammalian oocyte development including recombination, meiotic maturation, oocyte substrate uptake, chromosomal segregation and fertilisation.
Plant Salt Tolerance: Methods and Protocols describes recent advances and techniques employed by researchers to understand the molecular and ionic basis of salinity tolerance and to investigate the mechanisms of salt stress perception and signalling in plants.
This Neuromethods series book surveys new genetic techniques for generating genetically encoded activity sensors used to investigate neuronal activity. Each chapter covers a specific sensor and its utilization, with key description and implementation advice.
A broad definition of a receptor is a specialized protein on or in a cell that recognizes and binds a specific ligand to undergo a conformational change, leading to a physiological response or change in cell function.
The second edition of p53 Protocols expands upon the first edition with progress in p53 research since the publication of the first edition.
This Methods in Molecular Biology(TM) book covers topics such as how to image the structure of plant ovules and embryos, tools for establishing cell lineages, methods for studying the totipotency of plant cells, fluorescence-activated cell sorting and more.
The second edition of Bioinformatics and Drug Discovery has been completely updated to include topics that range from new technologies in target identification, genomic analysis, cheminformatics, protein analysis, and network or pathway analysis.
This book explores new protocols and features revised and improved methodologies, making it a valuable reference for all those contemplating a move into the study of intracellular Ca2+. It features lab-ready procedures and includes key implementation advice.
Biomass conversion research is a combination of basic science, applied science, and engineering testing and analysis. In Biomass Conversion: Methods and Protocols, expert researchers in the field detail methods which are now commonly used to study biomass conversion.
Transposable elements are used as genetic tools for dissecting the function of a specific gene and elaborating on mechanisms leading to genetic change and diversity, and the evolutionary impact of mobile DNA on the biology and evolution of organism.
Today, cells are commonly analyzed en masse, with thousands of cells per sample, yielding results on the average response of the cells.
