Prokaryotic Genomics provides molecular microbiologists in particular and researchers working with bacteria in general with the most important established recipes needed for their work. The volume covers both revisited classical methods and new tools for global analysis such as genomics or proteomics. It is written for those in need of a bench manual to complete their experiments and for those wanting to understand the modern tools used in microbiology.

Lauren, a young lady who sells sandwiches for a living, one day gets an order for the tower building across the street where she has her little food cart. However, the girl who helps her goes out to deliver some orders, so at that moment she is alone and decides to take the order herself since it is apparently a meeting of employees who will stay late and are usually good customers. When she arrived at the building, she goes to the basement offices and there she realizes that there is no one around since nobody answered when she knocked on the door. She decides to put the sandwiches on a desk and go back to her cart, but she sees a strange machine and out of curiosity she gets into it, then ...
This book provides the first and only comprehensive description and detailed summary of the genetics, structure, function, mechanisms of action, evolution and engineering of homing endonucleases and inteins. These two unique protein superfamilies, which are tied together through their frequent fusion and coevolution, have generated considerable excitement for their fundamental, structural, and functional properties, their evolution as parasitic elements, and their widespread applications as gene targeting agents and as instruments for the generation of modified proteins and novel protein combinations.
Peter E. Vaillancourt presents a collection of popular and emerging methodologies that take advantage of E. coli's ability to quickly and inexpensively express recombinant proteins. The authors focus on two areas of interest: the use of E. coli vectors and strains for production of pure, functional protein, and the use of E. coli as host for the functional screening of large collections of proteins and peptides. Among the cutting-edge techniques demonstrated are those for rapid high-level expression and purification of soluble and functional recombinant protein and those essential to functional genomics, proteomics, and protein engineering.
Experimental Analysis of Enzyme Mechanism Using Isotope Effects, Volume 596, the latest release in the Methods in Enzymology series, continues the legacy of this premier serial with quality chapters authored by leaders in the field. Chapters in this comprehensive update include Measurement of enzyme binding isotope effects, Chemical ligation and isotope labeling to locate dynamic effects, Measurement of heavy enzyme isotope effects, Extracting kinetic isotope effects from a global analysis of reaction progress curves, KIE of metabolic flux and enzymes, Solvent and Primary KIE on Flavin Enzymes, and The Rapid Determination of Primary Deuterium Isotope Effects on Enzyme-Catalyzed Proton Transfer at Carbon in 50/50 HOH/DOD. Readers who are interested in applying or understanding this research will find useful methods currently used for measuring isotope effects on solution and enzyme reactions. Written by pioneers of modern isotope effect research Is the only collection of modern kinetic isotope effect methods currently available
With a history that likely dates back to the dawn of human civilization more than 10,000 years ago, and a record that includes the domestication and selective breeding of plants and animals, the harnessing of fermentation process for bread, cheese, and brewage production, and the development of vaccines against infectious diseases, biotechnology has acquired a molecular focus during the 20th century, particularly following the resolution of DNA double helix in 1953, and the publication of DNA cloning protocol in 1973, and transformed our concepts and practices in disease diagnosis, treatment and prevention, pharmaceutical and industrial manufacturing, animal and plant industry, and food proc...
Presenting a wide array of information on chemical ligation – one of the more powerful tools for protein and peptide synthesis – this book helps readers understand key methodologies and applications that protein therapeutic synthesis, drug discovery, and molecular imaging. • Moves from fundamental to applied aspects, so that novice readers can follow the entire book and apply these reactions in the lab • Presents a wide array of information on chemical ligation reactions, otherwise scattered across the literature, into one source • Features comprehensive and multidisciplinary coverage that goes from basics to advanced topics • Helps researchers choose the right chemical ligation technique for their needs
This volume and its companion, Volume 338, supplement Volumes 176, 177, 239, and 261. Chapters are written with a "hands-on" perspective. That is, practical applications with critical evaluations of methodologies and experimental considerations needed to design, execute, and interpret NMR experiments pertinent to biological molecules.
This work presents a definitive interpretation of the current status of and future trends in natural products—a dynamic field at the intersection of chemistry and biology concerned with isolation, identification, structure elucidation, and chemical characteristics of naturally occurring compounds such as pheromones, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, and enzymes. With more than 1,800 color figures, Comprehensive Natural Products II features 100% new material and complements rather than replaces the original work (©1999). Reviews the accumulated efforts of chemical and biological research to understand living organisms and their distinctive effects on health and medicine Stimulates new ideas am...
