Techniques In Protein Chemistry Iv

Techniques in Protein Chemistry IV compiles papers presented at the Sixth Protein Society Symposium held in San Diego, California in 1992. This book discusses the mass spectrometry in protein sequence and structural investigations; site specific heterogeneity of N-linked oligosaccharides on recombinant human erythropoietin; and modification of thiophosphorylated proteins with extrinsic probes. The cysteine and tryptophan amino acid analysis of ABRF92-AAA; development of separation strategies for proteins by capillary electrophoresis; and peptide mapping of 2-D gel proteins by capillary HPLC are also elaborated. This text likewise covers the single syringe-pump solid-phase protein sequencer; hydrophobic contact density distribution functions; and application of chemical shift calculation to protein structure determination by NMR. This publication is valuable to biologists and students concerned with the developments in mass spectrometry of proteins.

Techniques in Protein Chemistry is based on the papers presented on the second annual meeting of the Protein Society in August 1988. The compendium contains the significant technical advances in protein chemistry. The book highlights topics that are of general interest and practical value to protein chemists. Emphasis is given to methods and applications in protein sequencing; applications of mass spectrometry and nuclear magnetic resonance technology; limitations of amino acid microanalysis; and high-performance liquid chromatography. The book will be a good reference for chemists and researchers in the field of protein chemistry.

Current Research in Protein Chemistry: Techniques, Structure, and Function reviews new techniques and methods for determining the structure and function of proteins. Topics covered include protein folding and stability, chimeric proteins, amino acid and peptide analysis, mass spectrometric methods, and protein sequencing techniques. This book is divided into six sections comprised of 55 chapters. The discussion begins with a description of microwave irradiation that uses Teflon-Pyrex tubes for protein hydrolysis, followed by the application of high performance capillary electrophoresis to the analysis of amino acids. The sections that follow explore mass spectrometry, protein sequencing, and capillary electrophoresis as well as protein stability, chimeric proteins and enzyme modifications, and protein structure prediction. Chapters focus on the crystal structure of human interleukin-1a, the acid-denatured states of proteins, solubility of recombinant proteins expressed in Escherichia coli, and catalysis by chimeric proteins. This book will be of value to students and researchers interested in protein chemistry.

Praise for the Series:"The mainly sharp scientific focus of this set of snapshots is a credit to both the contricutors and the editorial team."--Biotechnology and Applied Biochemistry Techniques in Protein Chemistry VIII is the latest volume in this successful series. As a valuable bench-top reference tool for protein chemists, the ten section sof the book are divided by subject area to show the reader which techniques are currently applied to particular problems in protein science.

Techniques in Protein Chemistry V highlights current methods in peptide and protein mass spectrometry, sequence and amino acid analysis, fragmentations, separations, protein folding and modeling, peptide and protein NMR, and peptide synthesis. This volume emerged from the manuscripts presented at the Seventh Symposium of the Protein Society, held in San Diego on July 24-28, 1993. This volume is organized into eight parts encompassing 61 chapters. The first part surveys the peptide and protein characterization, detection, and analysis by mass spectrometry. The subsequent parts describe the structural characterization and analysis of posttranslational processing events, as well as the characterization of protein and amino acid sequences using several analytical techniques. Other parts explore other analytical methods for peptide and protein separations; some aspects involved in protein design and functional domain analysis; and the evaluation of protein conformation, folding, and modeling. The last parts contain research papers on NMR analysis of peptide and protein solution structures. These parts also look into topics related to peptide synthesis and peptide libraries. This book is intended primarily for protein and analytical chemists.

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.
