Principles and Reactions of Protein Extraction, Purification and Characterization

This book provides the mechanisms and experimental procedures for classic to cutting-edge techniques used in protein extraction, purification, and characterization. The author presents the principles and reactions behind each procedure and uses tables to compare the different methods. The book also discusses the development of antibodies and immunochemical techniques as tools for characterizing proteins and modified proteins such as glycoproteins. Along with methodical working procedures for most techniques, the book also offers useful advice on which technique to use and when to apply a particular method.
