To understand the brain and its devastating diseases, we need to reveal the mechanisms that produce it and the ways in which it can constantly change throughout a lifetime. This book features a timely and insightful discussion between developmental neurobiologists and clinicians who deal with disorders of the nervous system. Chapters in this book deal specifically with cell fate determination, cell migration and disorders of cell migration; current concepts and new ideas about cortical arealisation, and disorders which can arise from incorrect arealisation; genes implicated in the development of cortical connectivity and related pathologies such as schizophrenia and synaesthesia; and susceptibility genes for cognitive disorders such as schizophrenia, autism, dyslexia, and attention deficit disorder.
Cellulase refers to a class of enzymes produced chiefly by fungi, bacteria, and protozoans that catalyse cellulolysis. This volume covers subjects such as 'the DNSA reducing assay for measuring cellulases', 'measuring processivity' and 'in situ cellulose detection with carbohydrate-binding modules'.
CELL BIOLOGY The ultimate concise introduction to modern cell biology, now updated Taking an “essentials only” approach, Cell Biology: A Short Course, Third Edition tells the story of cells as the unit of life in a uniquely accessible, student-friendly manner. Completely updated from the previous edition and now in full color, this accessible text features new chapters, a supporting website for students, and online supplemental material including PowerPoint slides for instructors. As in earlier editions, the authors combine their expertise in the areas of cell biology, physiology, biochemistry, and molecular biology to skillfully present key concepts, illustrating them with clear diagram...
This volume of Methods in Enzymology aims to provide a reference for the diverse, powerful tools used to analyze RNA helicases. The contributions in this volume cover the broad scope of methods in the research on these enzymes. Several chapters describe quantitative biophysical and biochemical approaches to study molecular mechanisms and conformational changes of RNA helicases. Further chapters cover structural analysis, examination of co-factor effects on several representative examples, and the analysis of cellular functions of select enzymes. Two chapters outline approaches to the analysis of inhibitors that target RNA helicases. - This volume of Methods in Enzymology aims to provide a reference for the diverse, powerful tools used to analyze RNA helicases - The contributions in this volume cover the broad scope of methods in the research on these enzymes
The contributions in this volume emphasize analysis of experimental data and analytical biochemistry, with examples taken from biochemistry. They serve to inform biomedical researchers of the modern data analysis methods that have developed concomitantly with computer hardware.Selected Contents: A practical approach to interpretation of SVD results; modeling of oscillations in endocrine networks with feedback; quantifying asynchronous breathing; sample entropy; wavelet modeling and processing of nasal airflow traces
The critically acclaimed laboratory standard, Methods in Enzymology, is one of the most highly respected publications in the field of biochemistry. Since 1955, each volume has been eagerly awaited, frequently consulted, and praised by researchers and reviewers alike. The series contains much material still relevant today - truly an essential publication for researchers in all fields of life sciences. Molecular Evolution Producing the Biochemical Data part B is a continuation of methods published in Part A (1993, volume 224). The work is a very methodological look at markers, templates, genomes, datasets and analyses used in studies of biological diversity.* One of the most highly respected publications in the field of biochemistry since 1955 * Frequently consulted, and praised by researchers and reviewers alike * Truly an essential publication for anyone in any field of the life sciences
Guide to Techniques in Mouse Development, Part A comprehensively covers new technologies and methodologies that have appeared for the study of mouse development. - Update of volume 225 of Methods in Enzymology, Guide to Techniques in Mouse Development, edited by P.M. Wassarman and M.L. DePamphilis and published in 1993 - Covers new technologies and methodologies, including: - new techniques for the cryopreservation of gametes and embryos - production of transgenic and null (knockout) animals (use of ES cells) - generation of conditional/inducible mutant animals - use of gene-trap mutagenesis - analysis of allele-specific expresion - use of new reporter constructs - humanizing of transgenic animals - transcript profiling of mouse development - imaging of mouse development - rederivation of animals and use of mouse genomics
The combination of faster, more advanced computers and more quantitatively oriented biomedical researchers has recently yielded new and more precise methods for the analysis of biomedical data. These better analyses have enhanced the conclusions that can be drawn from biomedical data, and they have changed the way that experiments are designed and performed. This volume, along with previous and forthcoming 'Computer Methods' volumes for the Methods in Enzymology serial, aims to inform biomedical researchers about recent applications of modern data analysis and simulation methods as applied to biomedical research.
