Microbial toxins are useful as agents in studies on membrane structure, biochemical pathways, and cellular regulatory mechanisms. Since relatively few of these toxins are commercially available, investigators must prepare their own reagents. This book provides in a single source the methods for preparing specific microbial toxins and their assay. It demonstrates their usefulness as reagents in biochemical and physiological studies, particularly at the cellular and molecular levels.
Praise for the Series
"The
Methods in Enzymology series represents the gold-standard." (
Neuroscience)
"Incomparably useful." (Analytical Biochemistry)
"It is a true 'methods' series, including almost every detail from basic theory to sources of equipment and reagents..." (Bio/Technology)
"...It should be on the shelves of all libraries in the world as a whole collection." (Chemistry in Industry)
"The appearance of another volume in that excellent series, Methods in Enzymology, is always a cause for appreciation..." (American Society of Microbiology News)
"...the work most often consulted in the laboratory, it could well be [the] multivolume series Methods in Enzymology...a great work." (Enzymologia)
"A series that has established itself as a definitive reference for biochemists." (Journal of Chromatography)
