Synopsis

The first edition of Protein Purification Protocols (1996), edited by Professor Shawn Doonan, rapidly became very successful. Professor Doonan achieved his aims of p- ducing a list of protocols that were invaluable to newcomers in protein purification and of significant benefit to established practitioners. Each chapter was written by an ex- rienced expert in the field. In the intervening time, a number of advances have w- ranted a second edition. However, in attempting to encompass the recent developments in several areas, the intention has been to expand on the original format, retaining the concepts that made the initial edition so successful. This is reflected in the structure of this second edition. I am indebted to Professor Doonan for his involvement in this new edition and the continuity that this brings. Each chapter that appeared in the original volume has been reviewed and updated to reflect advances and bring the topic into the 21st century. In many cases, this reflects new applications or new matrices available from vendors. Many of these have increased the performance and/or scope of the given method. Several new chapters have been introduced, including chapters on all the currently used protein fractionation and ch- matographic techniques. They introduce the theory and background for each method, providing lists of the equipment and reagents required for their successful execution, as well as a detailed description of how each is performed.

About this title

From the Back Cover

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.

Review

From reviews of the first edition...
"...very useful..."
-Angewandte Chemie: International Edition

"...valuable to keep around the laboratory..."
-Biopharm

"...recommended for protein chemists....There is something in this book for
everyone....an excellent working book as well as an excellent reference."
-JAOCS: Journal of the American Oil Chemists' Society

"...an excellent lab companion..."
-SIM News

"...a worthwhile purchase for novice and established practitioners alike."
-Microbiology Today

"...a detailed and comprehensive collection...up to date..invaluable to newcomers and of vast benefit to established researchers/scientists."
-Biomedical Chromatography

"Eight years on this is a welcome new edition which retains the same overall format of a strategies chapter followed by some 43 chapters, each dealing with individual techniques. Updating ranges from new introductions, to additional references and modified protocols. The final six chapters are new and include a useful comparison of detection methods and guides to proteomics and mass spectrometry. The larger format and hard binding make this edition appear less of a bench book, but the Editor has wisely retained the readily approachable format and enhanced its overall value as a practical manual, collating a wide range of protocols useful for both less and more experienced practitioners."-SGM Quarterly
