Summary

"This new manual is designed for routine, day-to-day use at the bench. By integrating both established in vitro and in vivo molecular techniques with more modern in silico methods, this manual takes the user from the initial steps of obtaining cellular and subcellular extracts, through the purification and isolation steps appropriate for the protein of interest, and, finally, to the steps involved in characterizing and identifying proteins, protein complexes, and protein-protein interactions. These step-wise methods are combined with troubleshooting advice and guidance on selecting an appropriate experimental strategy, making this new manual a handy yet informative resource for bench scientists with all levels of experience."--BOOK JACKET.
