Completely revised and updated, Protein Crystallization, 2nd Edition is a greatly expanded follow-up to the best-selling 1st edition. Completely new chapters on high-throughput methods, mass spectrometry, microcalorimetry, counterdiffusion, heavy-atom derivatization, selenomethionine-labeling, rational strategies for crystallization, and protein modification to improve crystallization. Updated chapters on formulation of the protein before crystallization, characterization of the protein by dynamic light scattering, classic methods and the phase diagram, seeding, and cryoprotection of the crystals. Laboratory exercises are included which can be used for teaching purposes in protein crystallization or crystallography courses. The exercises have been tested in the Practical Protein Crystallization courses that have been running since 1994 at Uppsala University (Sweden), as well as courses elsewhere. The book is divided into four separate sections: Methods, Tools and Strategies, Laboratory Exercises, and an A-Z Glossary. There are 30 color plates for identifying phenomena found in crystallization drops. As in the first edition, the emphasis of the book is on practical problems and questions encountered at the lab bench.

A complete account of the theory of the diffraction of x-rays by crystals with particular reference to the processes of determining the structures of protein molecules, this book is aimed primarily at structural biologists and biochemists but will also be valuable to those entering the field with a background in physical sciences or chemistry. It may be used at any post-school level, and develops from first principles all relevant mathematics, diffraction and wave theory, assuming no mathematical knowledge beyond integral calculus.
The book covers a host of important topics in the area, including: - The practical aspects of sample preparation and x-ray data collection, using both laboratory and synchrotron sources - Data analysis at both theoretical and practical levels - The important role played by the Patterson function in structure analysis by both molecular replacement and experimental phasing approaches - Methods for improving the resulting electron density map - The theoretical basis of methods used in refinement of protein crystal structures - In-depth explanation of the crucial task of defining the binding sites of ligands and drug molecules - The complementary roles of other diffraction methods which reveal further detail of great functional importance in a crystal structure.

Barry W. Hicks and a team of well-practiced experimentalists demonstrate the power and the versatility of the green fluorescent protein (GFP) marker with a cutting-edge collection of readily reproducible GFP techniques. These include methods for detecting and imaging GFP (FRET, BRET, and whole-body imaging); for using GFP to create and select for transgenic organisms, for its use as a biosensor; and for studying viruses.

The Guide to Protein Purification is a self-contained volume covering all the important procedures for purifying proteins, as well as other more specialized techniques. However, to stay within the confines of a single volume, some details are dealt with by reference to other works, but these have been kept to a minimum. It is hoped that this volume will satisfy the needs of both the novice in protein purification and the more experienced researcher.
Key Features * Contains procedures newly written for this volume * Provides extensive practical information * Clearly describes rationale and strategies for protein and enzyme purification * Offers personal perspectives on enzyme purification by eminent researchers

The first book of a two volume treatise on protein purification methods and applications, this title covers both traditional and recently developed techniques for initial purification, which is fundamental to any investigation of protein chemistry. The theory and basic principles of each technique are discussed, including initial planning, clarification and extraction, concentration of the extract, structure-based separation, activity-based purification, and gel permeation chromatography. Problem areas and solutions are highlighted at each stage, making this book equally valuable to novice researchers and more experienced protein biochemists who will find it a reliable and readily accessible bench manual.

This publication details the isolation of proteins from biological materials, techniques for solid-liquid separation, concentration, crystallization, chromatography, scale-up, process monitoring, product formulation, and regulatory and commercial considerations in protein production. The authors discuss the release of protein from a biological host, selectivity in affinity chromatography, precipitation of proteins (both non-specific and specific), extraction for rapid protein isolation, adsorption as an initial step for the capture of proteins, scale-up and commercial production of recombinant proteins, and process monitoring in downstream processing.

A Practical Guide to Membrane Protein Purification is written especially for researchers who have some familarity with separation of water-soluble proteins, but who may not be aware of the pitfalls they face with membrane proteins. This guide presents techniques in a concise form, emphasizing the aspects unique to membrane proteins. The book explains the principles of the methods, permitting researchers and students new to this area to adapt these techniques to their particular needs. The second volume in the series, this book is an essential manual for investigations of structure and function of native membrane proteins, as well as for purification of these proteins for immunization and protein sequencing. Separation, Detection, and Characterization of Biological Macromolecules is a new series of laboratory guides. Each volume focuses on a topic of central interest to scientists and students in biomedical and biological research. Introductory chapters are followed by clear, step-by-step protocols that present principles and practice. These concise manuals are designed for optimal understanding of methods as well as for practical benchtop use.
Key Features * Provides general guidelines and strategies for isolation of membrane proteins * Describes detailed practical procedures that have been the widest applications, and lowest specialized equipment needs * Gives special emphasis to new native and denaturing electrophoresis techniques * Explains modifications of techniques used for water-soluble proteins
