Dna'protein Interactions: Principles And Protocols (methods in Molecular Biology

Dr. Tom Moss assembles the new standard collection of cutting-edge techniques to identify key protein-DNA interactions and define their components, their manner of interaction, and their manner of function, both in the cell and in the test tube.

The clear and easy-to-follow protocols collected here illuminate the molecular basis of protein-nucleic acid interactions. Use them successfully to reveal the location of the DNA binding site, the strength and specificity of a binding, the identities of individual groups on the actual bases involved in binding, and the specific amino acid residues of the protein that interact with the DNA.

Senior scientists Marilena Aquino de Muro and Ralph Rapley have brought together an outstanding collection of time-tested protocols for designing and using genes probes in a wide variety of applications.

Practical methods for the generation and analysis of transgenic animals, covering a comprehensive range of species, from invertebrates to lower vertebrates to higher vertebrates. Chapters examine ways in which transgenic techniques can be used to address many problems in biological systems present in-depth descriptions of analytical methods, and give step-by-step techniques that can be easily performed in your lab.

A versatile collection of readily reproducible cell-cell interaction assays for uncovering cellular interactions at the molecular level, both in vitro and in vivo. The protocols cover a diverse set of cell-cell interaction models in both normal and pathological states, are readily adaptable to nearly any cell type and organ system, and include primary data and outcome analysis.

Protein–protein interactions (PPIs) are strongly predictive of functional relationships among proteins in virtually all processes that take place in the living cell. Therefore, the comprehensive exploration of interactome networks is one of the major goals in systems biology.
