Finally, there are two interesting chapters on instrumentation. This modestly priced book provides the molecular biologist with a wealth of current information on a wide variety of essential techniques. I look forward to the publication of volume 2 in this series, later this year. This book is part of a new series presenting collections of papers on recent developments in molecular biology. This volume housing ten papers elucidating new techniques and applications, is intended for advanced students and researchers.
Most chapters contain both specific protocols and ample background material.
The text is illustrated, heavily referenced, and indexed. Just as PCR methodologies have now become an everyday part of most molecular biology laboratories, new emerging technologies show equal potential in revolutionizing the way research is conducted. These books provide an ideal way to keep informed of recent advances in DNA and protein sciences, from gel electrophoresis of DNA and protein to isoelectric focusing of proteins. Each topic is covered, giving in-depth background theory and future trends as well as established protocols. The books represent reviews of each of the subjects covered and should prove to be an invaluable reference source for anyone seeking to understand better the topics or find solutions to experimental problems using new and improved techniques.
