Synopsis
Smith (plant sciences, U. of Cambridge, UK) and Witty (biochemistry, U. of Cambridge, UK) present 14 contributions from an interdisciplinary group of researchers who discuss step-by-step protocols and methodologies for studying chlorophyll, heme, and related molecules in chemical, biophysical, or molecular biological settings. Attempting to make the protocols accessible to novices, chapters cover such topics as two-dimensional crystallization of chlorophyll proteins, structural study of heme proteins by electron microscopy of two-dimensional crystals, analysis of intermediates and end products of the chlorophyll biosynthetic pathway, and general laboratory methods for tetrapyrroles.
