Description
Felix Franks' new volume, Protein Biotechnology, is a comprehensive compendium of state-of-the-art techniques for isolating, purifying, characterizing, and analyzing proteins as commercial products, both in vitro and in vivo. The book also highlights leading-edge analytical methods used throughout biotechnology today, especially in quality control, and contains a wealth of economic and technical information. The book's particular strength lies in its emphasis on proteins as commercial products, not merely experimental laboratory entities. Topics treated include: description and classification of proteins a economics and technology of characterization a analytical chromatography of amino acids, peptides, and proteins a structure, organization, and function a posttranslational processing a fragmentation a peptide sequence determination a electrophoretic techniques a polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies a conformational stability a protein hydration a recombinant protein technology a storage stabilization a process purification. An essential tool for everyone who needs to stay effective in today's highly competitive biotechnology arena.
