Rna Protein Interaction Protocols: Preliminary Entry 2139 (Methods in Molecular Biology)

Due to the vital biological importance of RNA and proteins functioning together within a cell, a protocol volume describing experimental procedures to study their interactions should find a home in many laboratories. __RNA-Protein Interaction Protocols, Second Edition__ updates, complements, and expands upon the popular first edition by providing a collection of cutting-edge techniques developed or refined in the past few years along with tried-and-true methods. The expert contributors explore the isolation and characterization of RNA-protein complexes, the analysis and measurement of RNA-protein interaction, and related novel techniques and strategies. Written in the highly successful __Methods in Molecular BiologyTM__ series format, the chapters include brief introductions to the material, lists of necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and a Notes section which highlights tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Comprehensive and up-to-date, __RNA-Protein Interaction Protocols, Second Edition__ is an ideal guide for researchers continuing the study of this all-important biological partnership. 1.
