Starting in the early 1970s, a type of programmed cell death called apoptosis began to receive attention. Over the next three decades, research in this area continued at an accelerated rate. In the early 1990s, a second type of programmed cell death, autophagy, came into focus. Autophagy has been studied in mammalian cells for many years. The recen
This is the companion volume to Daniel Klionsky's Autophagy: Lower Eukaryotes, which features the basic methods in autophagy covering yeasts and alternative fungi (aspergillus, podospora, magnaporthe). Klionsky is one of the leading authorities in the field. He is the editor-in-chief of Autophagy. The November 2007 issue of Nature Reviews highlighted his article, “Autophagy: from phenomenology to molecular understanding in less than a decade.? He is currently editing guidelines for the field, with 230 contributing authors, that will publish in Autophagy. Particularly in times of stress, like starvation and disease, higher organisms have an internal mechanism in their cells for chewing up a...
In the last several years there has been an explosion in the ability of biologists, molecular biologists and biochemists to collect vast amounts of data on their systems. This volume presents sophisticated methods for estimating the thermodynamic parameters of specific protein-protein, protein-DNA and small molecule interactions.
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
This new volume of Methods in Enzymology continues the legacy of this premier serial with quality chapters authored by leaders in the field. This volume covers G protein coupled receptors, and includes chapters on such topics as GPCR modelling, interactions with other molecules, virtual screening and GPCR activation. - Continues the legacy of this premier serial with quality chapters authored by leaders in the field - Covers G protein coupled receptors - Contains chapters on such topics as GPCR modelling, interactions with other molecules, virtual screening and GPCR activation
Synthetic biology encompasses a variety of different approaches, methodologies and disciplines and many different definitions exist. This volume covers topics such as measuring and engineering central dogma processes, mathematical and computational methods and next-generation DNA assembly and manipulation.
This volume, along with Part A and Part B, is dedicated to a description of the instruments, samples, protocols, and analyses that belong to cryo-EM. It emphasizes the relatedness of the ideas, instrumentation, and methods underlying all cryo-EM approaches, which allow practitioners to easily move between them. Within each section, the articles are ordered according to the most common symmetry of the sample to which their methods are applied. - Includes time-tested core methods and new innovations applicable to any researcher - Methods included are useful to both established researchers and newcomers to the field - Relevant background and reference information given for procedures can be used as a guide

Serpins are a group of proteins with similar structures that were first identified as a set of proteins able to inhibit proteases. This volume in the Methods in Enzymology series comprehensively covers this topic. With an international board of authors, this volume covers subjects such as Crystallography of serpins and serpin complexes, Serpins as hormone transporters, and Production of serpins using cell free systems.
