ASIN: 0199636184

Book Description

New and updated, this second edition of Protein Structure presents electrophoretic, chromatographic, and spectrophotometric techniques as well as including new chapters on the relatively sophisticated methods of mass spectrometry and ultracentrifugation. The emphasis is not on the technical aspects of the instruments, but more on the practical aspects of sample preparation and the possibilities of experimental strategy and design. The companion volume to this book, Protein Function: A Practical Approach, details comparable simple techniques for characterizing protein function. Topics in this second volume include: protein molecular weight determination by SDS-PAGE; protein analysis by mass spectrometry; immunological detection of proteins of known sequence; identification of common post-translational modifications; peptide mapping; counting integral numbers of residues by chemical modification; disulfide bonds between cysteine residues; analysis of protein conformation by gel electrophoresis; hydrodynamic properties of proteins; determining the molar absorbance coefficient of a protein; optical spectroscopy to characterize protein conformation and conformational changes; measuring the conformational stability of a protein; imunochemical analysis of protein conformation; stabilization of protein structure by solvents.

Book Description

There are several ways to represent the structure of a protein, and sophisticated computer technology has been applied to provide them in visually exciting ways. Technical details of all of the known proteins have also been captured in the Brookhaven Protein Databank. What has been lacking is
a manual that describes how to interpret and analyze these exciting pictures, and to understand what they show about the architecture of the protein. This book teaches the reader to look at protein structure diagrams and extract the meaningful information that they provide. It also contains a
complete atlas of all of the protein structures in the Brookhaven Protein Databank. Topics covered include: ball-and-stick models, shaded sphere models, schematic representations, tertiary structure and protein-ligand interactions, structure determination, and a wealth of information about the
relevant computer systems.

Customer Reviews:

All animals are created equal, but some are more..........2006-05-15

...equal than others. (Animal Farm, Orwell)

The three of five stars rating awarded by the earlier reviewer is unjustified, and its repeat appearance unduly biases the rating of this fine text.

It is indeed top flight, and a copy is worth having for almost all devoted students of protein structure, and mechanisms of enzyme action. Moreover, Prof Creighton certainly has something to offer all students in this area, via this text and his other writings, in part for historical reasons, and in part because his instights still clearly obtain. Essentially always, I'd rather read *him* than *ten reviews about him*, and would encourage my students to do the same.

This is not a really comprehensive book (it cannot be, with its size), but it is very useful as a quick reference or when you need to refresh the basic concepts of protein structure.

Book Description

The two Practical Approach volumes on protein-ligand interaction do not comprise a comprehensive compilation of all the methods that can be used to investigate protein-ligand interactions. Instead, they are a selection of the most useful and easily applied methods and will be an invaluable guide to the principal techniques used to study the interactions of proteins and ligands. This second volume covers the major spectroscopic methods: FTIR, Raman, and fluorescence spectroscopy; circular dichroism, NMR, mass spectrometry, atomic force microscopy, and the use of paramagnetic probes. There are also chapters on X-ray crystallography and molecular modelling. Hydrodynamic and calorimetric techniques are covered in volume one. Both volumes are available individually, or as a set. Both volumes are written from a practical standpoint to be applicable to both academic and industrial scientists wishing to characterize protein-ligand systems by using a multi-disciplinary approach.

Book Description

Dean Rood A Practical Guide to the Care, Maintenance, and Troubleshooting of Capillary Gas Chromatographic Systems Third, Revised Edition The field of gas chromatography continues the evolutionary process. This is well demonstrated by the continuous series of developments — in columns, equipment, apparatus, techniques, and applications — that have occured since the publication of the first edition of this very successful offering. Problems experienced by users differ from case to case, and these differences sometimes necessitate different approaches to care, maintenance, and trouble-shooting. This book is intended for the average GC user and not for those whose entire life revolves around capillary gas chromatography. The topics covered within these pages are based on the most common problems, questions, and misconceptions about capillary gas chromatography. These topics have been assembled and presented in a unique, practical, and concise format suitable even for the most inexperienced user. The author has not changed his successful approach to the topic in the present third edition. Instead, he has focused on updating and correcting the text of the widely acclaimed second edition.

Customer Reviews:

Simply practical and accurate.......2000-09-08

Dean Rood has compiled all the relevant information needed to help in the troubleshooting and maintenance of any GC, you find yourself with all the necessary support no matter where you are, this book will guide you through the process of fault finding and fixing and you will be able to go back on business without the fuss of following instruccions over the phone or waiting for the service to come over, I think it is fantastic!

Book Description

Many phenomena of interest for applications are represented by differential equations which are defined in a domain whose boundary is a priori unknown, and is accordingly named a "free boundary". A further quantitative condition is then provided in order to exclude indeterminacy. Free boundary problems thus encompass a broad spectrum which is represented in this state-of-the-art volume by a variety of contributions of researchers in mathematics and applied fields like physics, biology and material sciences. Special emphasis has been reserved for mathematical modelling and for the formulation of new problems.

Book Description

Free boundary problems arise in an enormous number of situations in nature and technology. They hold a strategic position in pure and applied sciences and thus have been the focus of considerable research over the last three decades. Free Boundary Problems: Theory and Applications presents the work and results of experts at the forefront of current research in mathematics, material sciences, chemical engineering, biology, and physics. It contains the plenary lectures and contributed papers of the 1997 International Interdisciplinary Congress proceedings held in Crete. The main topics addressed include free boundary problems in fluid and solid mechanics, combustion, the theory of filtration, and glaciology. Contributors also discuss material science modeling, recent mathematical developments, and numerical analysis advances within their presentations of more specific topics, such as singularities of interfaces, cusp cavitation and fracture, capillary fluid dynamics of film coating, dynamics of surface growth, phase transition kinetics, and phase field models. With the implications of free boundary problems so far reaching, it becomes important for researchers from all of these fields to stay abreast of new developments. Free Boundary Problems: Theory and Applications provides the opportunity to do just that, presenting recent advances from more than 50 researchers at the frontiers of science, mathematics, and technology.

Book Description

This monograph is devoted to the study of an evolutionary variational inequality approach to a degenerate moving free boundary problem. The inequality approach of obstacle type results from the application of an integral transformation. It takes an intermediate position between elliptic and parabolic inequalities and comprises an elliptic differential operator, a memory term and time-dependent convex constraint sets. The study of such inequality problems is motivated by applications to injection and compression moulding, to electro-chemical machining and other quasi-stationary Stefan type problems.
The mathematical analysis of the problem covers existence, uniqueness, regularity and time evolution of the solution. This is carried out in the framework of the variational inequality theory. The numerical solution in two and three space dimensions is discussed using both finite element and finite volume approximations. Finally, a description of injection and compression moulding is presented in terms of different mathematical models, a generalized Hele-Shaw flow, a distance concept and Navier-Stokes flow.
This volume is primarily addressed to applied mathematicians working in the field of nonlinear partial differential equations and their applications, especially those concerned with numerical aspects. However, the book will also be useful for scientists from the application areas, in particular, applied scientists from engineering and physics.

Book Description

THE AMERICAN TRADITION IN LITERATURE has introduced nearly two million students to the historic sweep of American Literature. Now, in its eighth edition, this leading anthology once again presents the best collection published. Published in 3 volumes - I, II, and the Shorter Edition (a single volume) - they are all available in both hard and soft cover. This revision balances the major writers with new and newly appreciated voices. Literary merit, as identified by the most current criticism, remains the guiding principle of selection. The headnotes and bibliographies have been extensively revised to reflect recent scholarship, and the new selections that have been added represent more fully early American literatrue and the latter half of the twentieth century. Now in its fourth decade, George and Barbara Perkins continue to create the standard by which all other American literature anthologies are judged.
