Chemical Biology A Practical Course

The present selection of 12 inspiring experiments has been carefully selected to cover the most commonly used laboratory techniques for the synthesis and analysis of bioactive compounds. Together, they provide a solid introduction to the skills and techniques that are required for the successful study of Chemical Biology.. Here you will learn how to synthesize a peptide by solid phase synthesis modify a protein by covalent attachment of a lipid chain modify an oligonucleotide and use it for DNA-directed immobilization isolate an enzyme for in vitro synthesis of a polysaccharide design a ligand for a protein by molecular modeling perform a proteome analysis in yeast All experiments haven been thoroughly tested in the authors' laboratory and come with an easy to follow step-by-step instruction, complemented by abundant practical hints and by a thorough treatment of the underlying theory and mechanisms.Waldmann, Herbert is the author of 'Chemical Biology A Practical Course', published 2004 under ISBN 9783527307784 and ISBN 3527307788.
