In this new edition of the very successful Protein Purification Protocols (1996), Paul Cutler completely updates the existing protocols to reflect recent advances and adds an enormous new array of proteomic techniques for protein isolation and analysis. These cutting-edge techniques include not only two-dimensional gel electrophoresis for analysis and characterization, but also analytical chromatography for multidimensional separations of proteins and peptides, and mass spectrometry for isolating proteins. With the many recent advances in technology, simple spectrometric detection is no longer the only option for separating proteins, and the authors treat in full detail all the newer methods for these separations. Comprehensive and highly practical, Protein Purification Protocols, Second Edition, brings together all the key methodologies that both novice and experienced investigators need to carry out successful experimental work on proteins and their functions today.
