Methods in Molecular Biology and Protein Chemistry Cloning and Characterization of an Enterotoxin Subunit

Methods in Molecular Biology is a discovery-based guide that will enable students to master current molecular biology and biochemistry techniques as an integrated part of a research project. Written in an accessible style, this book adopts a practical hands-on approach to encourage the reader to explore and experiment independently. The book is designed to support a one semester laboratory course in which students participate in an ongoing research project, give a research presentation on a topic related to the project, and write a research article suitable for publication. Methods in Molecular Biology features: * a carefully structured sequence of experiments that enables students to develop key laboratory skills whilst contributing towards a live, research project. * a mid-term mock exercise that encourages students to test test their undertanding half way through the book, assess what they have learnt, utilize the primary literature and propose additional research applications and methods. * a supplementary Website, that includes: guidelines on searching the primary literature using internet and library search tools corrections,additions, and troubleshooting suggestions advice on; how to prepare laboratory notebooks, present oral reports, record keeping and report writing suggestions for future projects based on modified text protocols This book will be invaluable for undergraduate students of biology, biochemistry microbiology and biomedical sciences. It will also be useful for those students taking chemistry, chemical engineering and animal and plant science courses looking to improve their practical experience in the lab.Spangler, Brenda D. is the author of 'Methods in Molecular Biology and Protein Chemistry Cloning and Characterization of an Enterotoxin Subunit' with ISBN 9780470843604 and ISBN 0470843608.
