Bücher der Reihe Methods and Tools in Biosciences and Medicine

The book is mainly written for students and researchers from evolutionary biology in search for methods to acquire data, but also from molecular biology who might be looking for information on how data are analyzed in an evolutionary context.

One major concern of biotechnology is either using enzymes or producing them. This book covers the affinity-based techniques (including precipitation, two-phase extractions, expanded bed chromatography, perfusion chromatography and monoliths).

Extending the range of enzymatic catalysis by using non-aqueous media has now developed into a powerful approach in biochemistry and biotechnology.

This manual describes the methodology and applications of microinjection, a powerful technique for transposing material into living cells through needle injection. Information is presented on the techniques principles, the required equipment, preparation of receiving cells and injected material, and the analysis of results.

-There is an acceleration in prion disease research because of the spread of mad cow disease. -This book covers in vitro, cellular, and animal models adapted for the study of TSEs. -Includes bio-saftey procedures.

Presents a set of technologies that provide tools for genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, drug discovery, screening, and analysis of biomolecules such as DNA, proteins, and small metabolites. This book aims to apply advanced automation and microfabrication technology to the development of biosensor devices as well as integrated systems.

Presents a set of technologies that provide the tools for genomics, proteomics, metabolomics, drug discovery, screening, and analysis of biomolecules such as DNA, proteins, and small metabolites. This book covers topics from immunoassays and biochips to nano-biochemistry. Each chapter combines theory, practice, and protocols.

Offers molecular microbiologists and researchers working with bacteria some of the important established recipes needed for their work. This title covers both revisited classical methods and fresh tools for global analysis such as genomics or proteomics. It is suitable for those who want to understand the modern tools used in microbiology.

This manual surveys toxins from insects, spiders, mollusks, fish, and snakes which have biotechnological applications. It reviews aspects of toxin origin, their molecular mechanism, and their cellular and pathogenic effects. It also provides methodology for the application of these toxins in the research laboratory.

Extending the range of enzymatic catalysis by using non-aqueous media has now developed into a powerful approach in biochemistry and biotechnology.

Covering both revisited classical methods and contemporary tools for global analysis such as genomics or proteomics, this text provides molecular microbiologists in particular and researchers working with bacteria in general with the most important established recipes needed for their work.
