Protein Function: A Practical Approach

The analysis of protein function is a vital step in the characterization of any newly discovered protein. This new edition brings up to date the techniques used, and presents experimental procedures that can be performed in the average laboratory without recourse to highly specialised equipment. The protocols will be of use to both experienced and novice researchers and are accompanied by background information, hints and tips, and troubleshooting guides to ensure successful elucidation of protein function.

The book contains black-and-white illustrations.
