Preview Calcium-Binding Protein Protocols: Volume 2: Methods and Techniques (Methods in Molecular Biology Vol 173)

Description:
Blurb for Volume 2 Hans Vogel and a panel of leading researchers review the protein chemistry and behavior of this significant class proteins, and provide a comprehensive collection of proven experimental techniques for studying it both in vitro and in vivo. This second volume focuses on cutting-edge experimental techniques for studying the solution structure, stability, dynamics, calcium-binding properties, and biological activity of calcium-binding protein in general. In addition to enzymatic assays and more routine spectroscopic and protein chemistry techniques, there are also NMR approaches, thermodynamic analyses, kinetic measurements such as surface plasmon resonance, strategies for amino acid sequence alignments, and fluorescence methods to study the distribution of calcium and calcium-binding proteins in cells. The first companion volume, Reviews and Case Histories sets the stage for this volume by introducing the various classes of intra- and extra-cellular calcium-binding proteins and their mode of action. Single Blurb for Both Volumes Hans Vogel and a panel of leading researchers review the protein chemistry and behavior of this significant protein class, and provide a comprehensive collection of proven experimental techniques for their study both in vitro and in vivo. The first volume discusses the role of calcium in intracellular secondary messenger activation mechanisms, including unique aspects of calcium chemistry and its utilization in dairy proteins and blood clotting. Detailed case studies provide a wealth of valuable information about protein purification and characterization strategies, X-ray crystallography, and specific calcium-binding proteins and their modes of action. The second volume focuses on cutting-edge experimental techniques for studying the solution structure, stability, dynamics, calcium-binding properties, and biological activity of calcium-binding protein in general. In addition to enzymatic assays and more routine spectroscopic and protein chemistry techniques, there are also NMR approaches, thermodynamic analyses, kinetic measurements such as surface plasmon resonance, strategies for amino acid sequence alignments, and fluorescence methods to study the distribution of calcium and calcium-binding proteins in cells.
