Gangliosides: Methods and Protocols (Volume 3035)

This volume looks at the newest technology and approaches, along with classical methodologies, to thoroughly study Glycoscience and Ganglioside science. The chapters in this book cover topics such as synthesis and degradation of gangliosides including chemical synthesis, substrate preparation, and synthetic and degradation enzyme; ganglioside behaviors and biology including neutral glycolipids, single particle tracking, lipid raft analysis, and metabolic analysis in foods; and disease and tissue development including bone metabolism, melanocyte gangliosides, autoimmune neuropathies, and amyloid fibril formation. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

Cutting-edge and authoritative, Gangliosides: Methods and Protocols is a valuable resource for researchers and scientists who want to learn more about this important and developing field.
