Synopsis: Felix Franks' new volume, Protein Biotechnology, is a comprehensive compendium of state-of-the-art techniques for isolating, purifying, characterizing, and analyzing proteins as commercial products, both in vitro and in vivo. The book also highlights leading-edge analytical methods used throughout biotechnology today, especially in quality control, and contains a wealth of economic and technical information. The book's particular strength lies in its emphasis on proteins as commercial products, not merely experimental laboratory entities. Topics treated include: description and classification of proteins * economics and technology of characterization * analytical chromatography of amino acids, peptides, and proteins * structure, organization, and function * posttranslational processing * fragmentation * peptide sequence determination * electrophoretic techniques * polyclonal and monoclonal antibodies * conformational stability * protein hydration * recombinant protein technology * storage stabilization * process purification. An essential tool for everyone who needs to stay effective in today's highly competitive biotechnology arena.
