دانلود کتاب Proteoglycan Protocols

Proteoglycans, highly complex macromolecules found in mammalian and lower organisms, serve a multitude of biological functions. In Proteoglycan Protocols, Renato Iozzo, MD, and an authoritative team of investigators present for the first time a comprehensive and up-to-date collection of readily reproducible preparative and analytical methods for the in-depth analysis of these important compounds. Featuring step-by-step protocols, this book will enable both novice and experienced researchers to isolate intact proteoglycans from tissues and cultured cells, to establish the composition of their carbohydrate moieties, and to generate strategies for prokaryotic and eukaryotic expression. There are also detailed techniques for the suppression of specific proteoglycan genes, for the detection of mutant cells and their degradation products, and for studying specific interactions between proteoglycans and extracellular matrix proteins and with growth factors and their receptors. Each method is carefully described by leading experts in the field and includes practical considerations that are often lacking in formal papers.

Authoritative and detailed, Proteoglycan Protocols offers molecular and cellular biologists, biochemists, pathologists, and geneticists a comprehensive reference and practical guide to the most common methods used today for the isolation and characterization of proteoglycans from cultured cells, tissues, and biological fluids.
