Branched-Chain Amino Acids, Part B By Editor-in-chief John N. Abelson (California Institute of Technology, Division of Biology, Pasadena, U.S.A.)

Summary

Covers genetic information (cloning, gene expression) and information on human genetic diseases. This book includes topics such as: preparation of substrates and assay of enzymes; cloning, expression, and purification of enzymes; detection and consequences of genetic defects; and, regulation and expression of enzymes.

Branched-Chain Amino Acids, Part B Summary

Branched-Chain Amino Acids, Part B: Volume 324 by Editor-in-chief John N. Abelson (California Institute of Technology, Division of Biology, Pasadena, U.S.A.)

Volume 324 of Methods in Enzymology supplements Volume 166. It includes genetic information (cloning, gene expression) and information on human genetic diseases not available when Volume 166 was published.General Description of the Series:The critically acclaimed laboratory standard for more than forty years, Methods in Enzymology is one of the most highly respected publications in the field of biochemistry. Since 1955, each volume has been eagerly awaited, frequently consulted, and praised by researchers and reviewers alike. Now with more than 300 volumes (all of them still in print), the series contains much material still relevant today--truly an essential publication for researchers in all fields of life sciences.

Branched-Chain Amino Acids, Part B Reviews

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, with timely documentation provided on each page." --BIO/TECHNOLOGY "The series has been following the growing, changing and creation of new areas of science. 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 for those who wish to successfully carry out a particular technique or prepare an enzyme or metabolic intermediate without the tiresome prospect of searching through unfamiliar literature and perhaps selecting an unproven method which is not easily reproduced." --AMERICAN SOCIETY OF MICROBIOLOGY NEWS "If we had some way to find the work most often consulted in the laboratory, it could well be the multi-volume series Methods in Enzymology...a great work." --ENZYMOLOGIA "A series that has established itself as a definitive reference for biochemists." --JOURNAL OF CHROMATOGRAPHY
