Author Description

Post-translational Modification: A Practical Approach is a comprehensive volume of the best current methodology. It is designed to be used at the bench or away from the bench to gain insight into future experimental approaches and (along with its companion volume Protein Expression: A Practical Approach) forms the final part of the PAS mini-series on protein synthesis and processing. This volume alone covers areas such as protein sequencing, protein folding and import, organelles, and the three major forms of covalent modification -- phosphorylation, glycosylation, and lipid modification. It also addresses proteolytic processing and protein turnover in mammalian cells and yeast. Its extensive breadth of coverage makes it ideal for any biomedical researcher or scientist wanting to investigate protein expression in cell free systems, viruses, and prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells.
