Book excerpt: ANALYTICAL TECHNIQUES FOR THE ELUCIDATION OF PROTEIN FUNCTION An essential aid for scientists seeking alternative techniques for investigating proteins Proteins are the building blocks of living organisms, and they play an enormous range of fundamental roles in sustaining and shaping life. The critical determinant of a protein’s function is its structure, and the analysis of protein structures has therefore become a significant component of biological research. In recent years, longstanding analytical techniques such as X-ray crystallography and nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR) spectroscopy have been supplemented by a number of new methods which promise to revolutionize the study of proteins and their functions. Analytical Techniques for the Elucidation of Protein Function serves as an introduction to these techniques, which are especially crucial for analyzing intrinsically disordered regions and post-translational modifications. These have revolutionized the study of proteins in recent years, and conventional methods for analyzing protein structures are no longer sufficient to work through their ramifications. This book therefore brings greater awareness of techniques which promise to produce the very cutting edge of protein research. Analytical Techniques for the Elucidation of Protein Function readers will find: A discussion of techniques including electron paramagnetic resonance (ESR) spectroscopy, neutron scattering, Raman imaging, and more Both theoretical background and practical applications for each technique Contributions from leading international researchers into protein structure and function This practically focused text is a valuable reference for protein and peptide analysis and synthesis researchers, as well as for graduate and advanced undergraduate students in the life sciences.

Download or read book Protein Analysis and Purification written by Ian M. Rosenberg and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-12-01 with total page 541 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: How one goes about analyzing proteins is a constantly evolving field that is no longer solely the domain of the protein biochemist. Investi gators from diverse disciplines find themselves with the unanticipated task of identifying and analyzing a protein and studying its physical properties and biochemical interactions. In most cases, the ultimate goal remains understanding the role(s) that the target protein is playing in cellular physiology. It was my intention that this manual would make the initial steps in the discovery process less time consuming and less intimidating. This book is not meant to be read from cover to cover. The expanded Table of Contents and the index should help locate what you are seeking. My aim was to provide practically oriented information that will assist the experimentalist in benchtop problem solving. The appendices are filled with diverse information gleaned from catalogs, handbooks, and manuals that are presented in a distilled fashion designed to save trips to the library and calls to technical service representatives. The user is encouraged to expand on the tables and charts to fit individual experimental situations. This second edition pays homage to the computer explosion and the various genome projects that have revolutionized how benchtop scientific research is performed. Bioinformatics and In silica science are here to stay. However, the second edition still includes recipes for preparing buffers and methods for lysing cells.

Download or read book Protein Structure Analysis written by Roza Maria Kamp and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 1997 with total page 340 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: "Protein Structure Analysis - Preparation and Characterization" is a compilation of practical approaches to the structural analysis of proteins and peptides. Here, about 20 authors describe and comment on techniques for sensitive protein purification and analysis. These methods are used worldwide in biochemical and biotechnical research currently being carried out in pharmaceu tical and biomedical laboratories or protein sequencing facilities. The chapters have been written by scientists with extensive ex perience in these fields, and the practical parts are well documen ted so that the reader should be able to easily reproduce the described techniques. The methods compiled in this book were demonstrated in student courses and in the EMBO Practical Course on "Microsequence Analysis of Proteins" held in Berlin September 10-15, 1995. The topics also derived from a FEBS Workshop, held in Halkidiki, Thessaloniki, Greece, in April, 1995. Most of the authors participated in these courses as lecturers and tutors and made these courses extremely lively and successful. Since polypeptides greatly vary depending on their specific structure and function, strategies for their structural analysis must for the most part be adapted to each individual protein. Therefore, advantages and limitations of the experimen tal approaches are discussed here critically, so that the reader becomes familiar with problems that might be encountered.

Download or read book Analytical Techniques in the Pharmaceutical Sciences written by Anette Müllertz and published by Springer. This book was released on 2016-08-30 with total page 838 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The aim of this book is to present a range of analytical methods that can be used in formulation design and development and focus on how these systems can be applied to understand formulation components and the dosage form these build. To effectively design and exploit drug delivery systems, the underlying characteristic of a dosage form must be understood--from the characteristics of the individual formulation components, to how they act and interact within the formulation, and finally, to how this formulation responds in different biological environments. To achieve this, there is a wide range of analytical techniques that can be adopted to understand and elucidate the mechanics of drug delivery and drug formulation. Such methods include e.g. spectroscopic analysis, diffractometric analysis, thermal investigations, surface analytical techniques, particle size analysis, rheological techniques, methods to characterize drug stability and release, and biological analysis in appropriate cell and animal models. Whilst each of these methods can encompass a full research area in their own right, formulation scientists must be able to effectively apply these methods to the delivery system they are considering. The information in this book is designed to support researchers in their ability to fully characterize and analyze a range of delivery systems, using an appropriate selection of analytical techniques. Due to its consideration of regulatory approval, this book will also be suitable for industrial researchers both at early stage up to pre-clinical research.

Download or read book Protein Purification and Analysis I written by IConcept Press Staff and published by CreateSpace. This book was released on 2013-12 with total page 326 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Chapter 1 is a review of the bioinformatics literature on protein-protein interactions (PPIs). A protein-protein interaction network (PPIN) is a collection of PPIs, often deposited in online databases. PPINs may complement other datasets, such as protein structural information. Chapter 2 describes the usability and advantages of the micro-patterning technique to study protein-protein interactions in a live cell context. It summarizes results achieved so far, discusses latest technical developments and describes potential future applications. Chapter 3 describes a strategy for identification of protein peptides cross-linked to radiolabeled RNA derivatives in specific complexes of proteins or ribonucleoproteins with these derivatives. This strategy is alternative to the identification based on mass-spectrometry and can be used for determination of protein sites involved in interactions with specific RNAs when mass-spectrometry is not applicable. Chapter 4 describes biochemical methods for assessing interaction between distinct ligand-gated channels. This chapter proposes also methods to examine functional impact of these receptor-receptor interactions in the nervous system. Chapter 5 proposes a statistical approach based on Structural Equation Modeling, in combination with step-wise factor analysis, to infer protein-DNA interactions for gene transcriptional control in the absence of protein information. Such approach only uses gene expression profiles. Chapter 6 describes procedures for the biochemical analysis of amyloid proteins in transgenic Drosophila, specifically the prion protein. The authors show that protocols from the mammalian literature can be easily adapted and scaled to these small flies and by ensuring robust expression of the prion protein and proper handling of these delicate samples. Chapter 7 discusses DEAD-box proteins. DEAD-box protein family members participate in many aspects of RNA metabolism, particularly in the ATP-driven disruption of secondary structures of RNA. Genes coding for these types of proteins are recognised in all free living bacteria. Chapter 8 provides an experimental model of restriction-modification enzyme fusion and proposes a molecular mechanism for appearance of type IIC restriction-modification and M.SsoII-related enzymes, as well as other multifunctional proteins. Chapter 9 describes the role of branched chain amino acids, leucine, isoleucine and valine, in exercise with respect to performance, muscle kinetics, fatigue and immunity. It also discusses the existing evidence on any superior benefits of branched chain amino acid supplements to exercising individuals and athletes. Chapter 10 provides an overview of the protein-peptide based research in dermatology and the recent emergence of many new dermatologic therapeutic modalities. Chapter 11 summarizes the adverse health effects of prenatal or early postnatal exposure to environmental pollutants (lead, arsenic and dioxins are the best known), pharmaceuticals, some food additives, and other chemicals through the mechanism of cell deprogramming or imprinting. Chapter 12 put forward 2D-PAGE as an important tool, especially for clinical laboratories involved in the determination of protein expression levels and disease biomarker discovery. Chapter 13 shows how to investigate and characterize an open reading frame, from exploiting the similarity in amino acid sequence, until the cloning, expression, purification and activity of the protein and its biological partners. Chapter 14 focuses on the cloning, heterologous expression and physicochemical characterization of Als5, one of the GPI-anchored adhesins from Candida albicans.
