In \u003cem\u003eAntimicrobial Peptides: Methods and Protocols\u003c\/em\u003e, leading investigators present a broad, up-to-date collection of current research and experimental methods for the isolation, characterization, production, and optimization of antimicrobial peptides. Additional chapters detail methodologies in several microscopy techniques, high-throughput screening, QSAR modeling, and computer-aided design used to study these compounds, while key review articles survey potential medical applications of antimicrobial peptides as innovative anti-infective and immunomodulatory agents, as well as emerging discoveries in their function, regulation, and roles in innate immunity. As a volume in the highly successful \u003cem\u003eMethods in Molecular Biology\u003c\/em\u003e™ series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and notes on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eAuthoritative and wide-ranging in its applications, \u003cem\u003eAntimicrobial Peptides: Methods and Protocols\u003c\/em\u003e provides both an authoritative guide for lab work on AMPs or related substances and a useful collection of thought stimuli to inspire further scientific endeavours in a wide array of vital fields.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003ch3\u003eDetails\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublished by: Humana\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePublication Date: 2010-03-23\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFormat: Hardcover\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eISBN-13: 9781607615934\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDOI: 10.1007\/978-1-60761-594-1\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eDimensions: 254cm x178cm\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003ePages: 424\u003c\/p\u003e ","brand":"Humana Press","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":46542536671372,"sku":"9781607615934","price":98.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0710\/9545\/1788\/files\/9781607615934.jpg?v=1772841568","url":"https:\/\/lateknightbooks.com\/products\/9781607615934","provider":"Late Knight Books and Services, LLC","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
