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 the 2 previous 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. - Presents step-by-step computer methods and discusses the techniques in detail to enable their implementation in solving a wide range of problems - Informs biomedical researchers of the modern data analysis methods that have developed alongside computer hardware - Presents methods at the "nuts and bolts" level to identify and resolve a problem and analyze what the results mean
This volume, and its companion Volume 316, include newly developed methods to study vertebrate phototransduction and the visual cycle. Major topics covered include expression, isolation, and characterization of opsins; proteins that interact with rhodopsin; transducin and regulators of G-protein signaling; photoreceptor protein phosphatases, phosphodiesterase, and guanylylcyclase; cyclis nucleolide gated channels; Na+/Ca2+-K+ exchanges and ABCR transporter.The critically acclaimed laboratory standard for more than forty years, 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. Now with more than 300 volumes (all of them still in print), the series contains much material still relevant today--truly an essential publication for researchers in all fields of life sciences.
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.

The ability of polypeptides to form alternatively folded, polymeric structures such as amyloids and related aggregates is being increasingly recognized as a major new frontier in protein research. This new volume of Methods in Enzymology along with Part B (volume 412) on Amyloid, Prions and other Protein Aggregates continue in the tradition of the first volume (309) in containing detailed protocols and methodological insights, provided by leaders in the field, into the latest methods for investigating the structures, mechanisms of formation, and biological activities of this important class of protein assemblies. - Presents detailed protocols - Includes troubleshooting tips - Provides coverage on structural biology, computational methods, and biology
State-of-the-art update on methods and protocols dealing with the detection, isolation and characterization of macromolecules and their hosting organisms that facilitate nitrification and related processes in the nitrogen cycle as well as the challenges of doing so in very diverse environments. - Provides state-of-the-art update on methods and protocols - Deals with the detection, isolation and characterization of macromolecules and their hosting organisms - Deals with the challenges of very diverse environments
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
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.
