Beschreibung:
Featuring contributions from leading experts, Protein Discovery Technologies provides comprehensive coverage of the principles, techniques, strategies, and broad range of applications of protein discovery. This volume presents in-depth discussions of various methods for protein discovery, including bioinformatics, interaction cloning, protein purification, phage display, non-primate models, and chemical targeting. It also explores biological themes through the examination of cell death, angiogenesis, hemostasis, development, signal transduction, transcriptional control, cell cycle control, neurobiology, and quality control.
