A Laboratory Manual Of Analytical Methods Of Protein Chemistry Including Polypeptides

In the last fifteen years there has been a revolution in the techniques available for the analysis and isolation of proteins. Every time a new technique has been introduced, numerous papers have appeared describing modifications to it and the research worker who wishes to employ these methods is faced with a very serious problem in deciding which particular variant to use. These volumes are intended to provide the fullest practical detail so that any scientist can follow the procedure by using this book alone and without having recourse to the original literature. The techniques which are described in full are ones in which all the authors have had first-hand experience, and the descriptions contain those small but important points which save so much time. In the first volume, separation and isolation procedures are discussed; the second concerns its analysis and reactivity, and the third volume with the measurement of the macromolecular properties of proteins.

A Laboratory Manual of Analytical Methods of Protein Chemistry (Including Polypeptides), Volume 1: The Separation and Isolation of Proteins deals with the techniques used in the separation and isolation of proteins, including fractionation and characterization by dialysis, multi-membrane electrodecantation, and zonal density gradient electrophoresis. The fractionation of proteins by adsorption and ion exchange is also described. This book is comprised of seven chapters and begins with a discussion on procedures for the separation of proteins, paying particular attention to the liberation of proteins from cellular material; removal of lipids from lipoproteins; and denaturation, fractionation, and purification of proteins. The next chapter focuses on the isolation of biologically active proteins such as cytochrome, bacterial amylases, and bacterial proteinases. The reader is methodically introduced to fractionation of proteins by adsorption and ion exchange; fractionation and characterization by dialysis; multi-membrane electrodecantation; and continuous and discontinuous partition. The final chapter explains how zonal density gradient electrophoresis works as a separation method for natural mixtures of proteins, their degradation products, and other substances carrying electric charges in solution or suspension. This volume will be of interest to chemists working with proteins.

A Laboratory Manual of Analytical Methods of Protein Chemistry, Volume 4 provides information pertinent to the fundamental aspects of protein chemistry. This book discusses the simple and accurate methods of estimating specific proteins. Organized into six chapters, this volume begins with an overview of the composition of acids and experimental conditions for the acid hydrolysis of proteins. This text then examines the advantages of high-voltage electrophoresis for amino acid analysis, which are paralleled by equal advantages in the peptide separation field. Other chapters consider the simple technique of estimating specific proteins, which is one of several based on the phenomenon of antigen-antibody precipitation in gels. This book discusses as well the summations of analyses in weight percentages of the various residues and of the nitrogen of each constituent. The final chapter deals with the electrical properties of molecules. This book is a valuable resource for physicists and research workers.

Analytical Methods of Protein Chemistry, Volume 3: Determination of the Size and Shape of Protein Molecules provides information pertinent to the analysis and isolation of protein. This book deals with the measurement of the macromolecular properties of proteins. Organized into seven chapters, this volume begins with an overview of the theory and practice of the electron microscope to allow an understanding of the type of object that may be examined. This text then describes the methods of making protein molecules conform to such an ideal, which are the techniques of specimen preparation. Other chapters consider the determinations of osmotic pressures of proteins. This book discusses as well the experimental basis for the theory of the diffusion process in liquids. The final chapter deals with the technical problem characteristics of light-scattering. This book is a valuable resource for electron microscopists, protein chemists, biologists, physicist, physico-chemists, scientists, and research workers.
