DNA’Protein Interactions: Principles and Protocols 2nd Edition

DNA-Protein Interactions: Principles and Protocols

DNA-Protein Interactions: Principles and Protocols, edited by Tom Moss, provides a comprehensive collection of laboratory methods for identifying and analyzing interactions between DNA and proteins. The second edition presents more than 100 practical techniques for investigating protein-DNA binding, identifying interacting factors, and understanding molecular interactions both inside living cells and under controlled laboratory conditions. Covering methods from DNA footprinting and electrophoretic mobility shift assays to SELEX, surface plasmon resonance, and crosslinking techniques, this book is a valuable resource for researchers in biochemistry, molecular biology, cell biology, and developmental biology.
