Overview
This is a manual which aims to give students a chance to explore the process and techniques of characterizing and purifying a protein, and of subsequent cloning of the associated gene. Each chapter emphasizes the process of discovery, and the strategies and rationale for each experiment. To minimize cost and avoid extensive laboratory preparation, the experiments in this manual use readily available materials and organisms, the bacterium Escherichia coli and the yeast Saccharomyces carlsbergensis.Synopsis

A textbook for an undergraduate or professional training course for students with a solid background in general biology and chemistry, and hopefully some organic chemistry; does not assume any microbiology and biochemistry. Explains the laboratory techniques and skills for characterizing and purifying a protein and for cloning the associated gene, and the strategies and rationale for the research process itself. The examples use readily available materials and organisms to keep the cost down. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
