Advances in Protein Molecular and Structural Biology Methods offers a complete overview of the latest tools and methods applicable to the study of proteins at the molecular and structural level. The book begins with sections exploring tools to optimize recombinant protein expression and biophysical techniques such as fluorescence spectroscopy, NMR, mass spectrometry, cryo-electron microscopy, and X-ray crystallography. It then moves towards computational approaches, considering structural bioinformatics, molecular dynamics simulations, and deep machine learning technologies. The book also covers methods applied to intrinsically disordered proteins (IDPs)followed by chapters on protein interaction networks, protein function, and protein design and engineering. It provides researchers with an extensive toolkit of methods and techniques to draw from when conducting their own experimental work, taking them from foundational concepts to practical application. - Presents a thorough overview of the latest and emerging methods and technologies for protein study - Explores biophysical techniques, including nuclear magnetic resonance, X-ray crystallography, and cryo-electron microscopy - Includes computational and machine learning methods - Features a section dedicated to tools and techniques specific to studying intrinsically disordered proteins

This volume explores some of the most exciting recent advances in basic research on molecular assembly in natural and engineered systems and how this knowledge is leading to advances in the various fields. - This series provides a forum for discussion of new discoveries, approaches, and idea - Contributions from leading scholars and industry experts - Reference guide for researchers involved in molecular biology and related fields

Recent advances in the biosciences have led to a range of powerful new technologies, particularly nucleic acid, protein and cell-based methodologies. The most recent insights have come to affect how scientists investigate and define cellular processes at the molecular level. Molecular Biomethods Handbook, 2nd Edition expands upon the techniques included in the first edition, providing theory, outlines of practical procedures, and applications for a range of techniques. Part A of the book describes nucleic acid methods, such as gene expression profiling, microarray analysis and quantitative PCR. In Part B, protein and cell-based methods are outlined, in subjects ranging from protein engineering to high throughput screening. Written by a well-established panel of research scientists, Molecular Biomethods Handbook, 2nd Edition provides an up to date collection of methods used regularly in the authors'own research programs. This book will prove to be an invaluable reference for those engaged in or entering the field of molecular biology, and will provide the necessary background for those interested in setting up and using the latest molecular techniques.
