      • 5th Edition
      • Sue Carson + 3 more
      • English
      Molecular Biology Techniques: A Classroom Laboratory Manual, Fifth Edition, is an in-depth laboratory manual for upper-level undergraduates and beginning graduate students in the general field of molecular biology techniques and biochemical applications. Presented as a series of coordinated experiments that mimics either a one- or two-semester research experience, the book also provides theories and explanations behind the techniques. Topics include manipulation of recombinant DNA, protein expression and purification, analysis of mRNA levels, mammalian cell culture techniques, CRISPR-mediated gene knockdown, and more. New topics, such as Gibson assembly experiments, have also been included. For instructors, the book contains easy to follow guides and preparation lists, designed to facilitate lab setup and pre-lab questions for use as a teaching tool.

    • Simulating Protein Folding in Variable Environmental Conditions

      Transformation from Globular Proteins to Amyloids
      • 1st Edition
      • Irena Roterman-Konieczna
      • English
      Simulating Protein Folding in Variable Environmental Conditions: Transformation from Globular Proteins to Amyloids explores the complex relationship between environmental factors and the intricate protein folding process. Through detailed analysis, the book investigates how conditions such as water and membrane environments can influence the transformation of globular proteins into amyloids, shedding light on the underlying mechanisms of misfolding. Central to its approach is the fuzzy oil drop model (FOD-M), which quantitatively measures the impact of external stimuli on protein structure. This resource is invaluable for those seeking to understand how external forces drive folding and misfolding at the molecular level.Beyond its foundational exploration of amyloid transformation, the book provides a thorough introduction to model simulation hypotheses and evaluates the significance of environmental changes on protein behavior. It addresses the importance of accurately representing external conditions and how these variations contribute to altered folding pathways.
