  • Molecular Biology LabFax

    Recombinant DNA
    • 2nd Edition
    • Volume 1
    • T. A. Brown
    • English
    Labfax volumes are purpose-designed data reference books for practicing scientists. Each book presents key information for a major subject in one place and therefore saves hours of searching. The authors and editors of each Labfax volume have searched the original literature for the accurate data which they know the specialist needs.

  • International Review of Cytology

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 183
    • English
    International Review of Cytology presents current advances and comprehensive reviews in cell biology-both plant and animal. Articles address structure and control of gene expression, nucleocytoplasmic interactions, control of cell development and differentiation, and cell transformation and growth. Authored by some of the foremost scientists in the field, each volume provides up-to-date information and directions for future research.

  • Computational Methods in Molecular Biology

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 32
    • S.L. Salzberg + 2 more
    • English
    Computational biology is a rapidly expanding field, and the number and variety of computational methods used for DNA and protein sequence analysis is growing every day. These algorithms are extremely valuable to biotechnology companies and to researchers and teachers in universities.This book explains the latest computer technology for analyzing DNA, RNA, and protein sequences. Clear and easy to follow, designed specifically for the non-computer scientist, it will help biologists make better choices on which algorithm to use. New techniques and demonstrations are elucidated, as are state-of-the-art problems, and more advanced material on the latest algorithms.The primary audience for this volume are molecular biologists working either in biotechnology companies or academic research environments, individual researchers and the institutions they work for, and students. Any biologist who relies on computers should want this book.A secondary audience will be computer scientists developing techniques with applications in biology.An excellent reference for leading techniques, it will also help introduce computer scientists to the biology problems. This is an outstanding work which will be ideal for the increasing number of scientists moving into computational biology.

  • Linkage Thermodynamics of Macromolecular Interactions

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 51
    • English
    This volume commemorates the 50th anniversary of the appearance in Volume 4 in 1948 of Dr. Jeffries Wyman's famous paper in which he "laid down" the foundations of linkage thermodynamics. Experts in this area contribute articles on the state-of-the-art of this important field and on new developments of the original theory. Among the topics covered in this volume are electrostatic contributions to molecular free energies in solution; site-specific analysis of mutational effects in proteins; allosteric transitions of the acetylcholine receptor; and deciphering the molecular code of hemoglobin allostery.

  • The Immunoglobulins

    Structure and Function
    • 1st Edition
    • Roald Nezlin
    • English
    This book provides comprehensive up-to-date information on the structure and function of immunoglobulins. It describes the basic features of these molecules, which assists the reader in understanding how they function as an integral part of the immune system. The Immunoglobulins describes the localization and structure of different binding sites of immunoglobulin molecules, including the antigen-binding site, on the basis of latest x-ray crystallography studies. It discusses recently developed biotechnological methods that allow scientists to obtain fully active antibody molecules in vitro even without immunization and to construct new variants of immunoglobulins and their fragments by fusing with various other active molecules. A survey of recent knowledge on immunoglobulin-bindi... molecules other than antigens and on flexibility of immunoglobulin molecules concludes the discussion of functional aspects of the problem.

  • Calmodulin and Signal Transduction

    • 1st Edition
    • Linda J. Van Eldik + 1 more
    • English
    Calmodulin and Signal Transduction focuses on emerging themes in the molecular mechanisms of calcium signal transduction through calmodulin-regulated pathways. It provides the reader with selected examples and experimental precedents that underlie current models of cell regulation through calmodulin-regulated pathways and their linkage with other regulatory pathways.

  • Yeast Gene Analysis

    • 1st Edition
    • Volume 26
    • English
    Established almost 30 years ago, Methods in Microbiology is the most prestigious series devoted to techniques and methodology in the field. Now totally revamped, revitalized, with a new format and expanded scope, Methods in Microbiology will continue to provide you with tried and tested, cutting edge protocols to directly benefit your research.

  • Guide to Human Genome Computing

    • 2nd Edition
    • Martin J. Bishop
    • English
    The Guide to Human Genome Computing is invaluable to scientists who wish to make use of the powerful computing tools now available to assist them in the field of human genome analysis. This book clearly explains access and use of sequence databases, and presents the various computer packages used to analyze DNA sequences, measure linkage analysis, compare and align DNA sequences from different genes or organisms, and infer structural and functional information about proteins from sequence data. This Second Edition contains completely updated material. Rather than a revision of the previous volume, the Second Edition is essentially a new book, based on the subjects which will be of interest over the coming years. This new book is international, both in scope and authorship.
