Basic Protein and Peptide Protocols

Basic Protein and Peptide Protocols, Volume 32

Basic Protein and Peptide Protocols, edited by John M. Walker, is a practical laboratory reference focused on fundamental analytical methods for studying proteins and peptides. Part of the Methods in Molecular Biology series, this volume brings together techniques for examining protein and peptide properties, supporting biochemical analysis and molecular biology research. It emphasizes basic analytical procedures while directing readers to specialized resources for advanced methods requiring expensive instrumentation, such as mass spectrometry, nuclear magnetic resonance, X-ray crystallography, and automated sequence analysis. The book is a useful resource for researchers, laboratory professionals, and students working in biochemistry, protein science, and molecular biology.
