ISBN: , SKU: , AUTHOR: Nadeau, Jay, PUBLISHER: CRC Press, Designed as a practical companion for physical scientists seeking to move into wet laboratory experiments and biological research areas, this book gives a clear understanding of what is experimentally feasible. It introduces basic terminology and concepts, assuming no previous background in biology. The text begins with the simpler, essential methods and builds gradually to more advanced techniques. It is organized into three main sections that address genes, proteins, and expression systems. This structure allows readers to follow the steps involved in the production of nucleic acids and proteins and the different levels of purification required for each type of analysis.
