Features: This book is a guided manual based on experimental development, using a thermolabile endotoxin subunit (LTB) of E. coli as a typical material. It systematically and specifically introduces the molecular biology and protein chemistry methods employed in its research, including gene recombination, cloning, screening, expression, and the separation, purification, and identification of proteins. The book primarily presents common research methods and techniques in the form of experimental procedures, but provides concise theoretical explanations before each experiment, integrating theory and practice. Through studying this book, readers can grasp current molecular biology and biochemistry experimental techniques as a whole.
· Written in an easily accessible manner; through a scientifically rational arrangement of experimental sequences, readers can improve their key experimental skills through hands-on practice;
· Practical experimental methods encourage readers to conduct independent exploration and experimental design;
· The book's references can encourage readers to use primary literature to design experimental protocols and methods;
· The book also provides some necessary URLs, making it convenient for readers to use library tools and the internet to query primary literature, as well as to adjust experiments, improve procedures, and troubleshoot issues. It also offers suggestions on how to prepare for experiments and write lab reports.
This book has been used by universities in the USA as a comprehensive experimental textbook for protein chemistry and molecular biology, achieving successful reforms in experimental teaching. Therefore, it is particularly suitable as a semester-long experimental course textbook for students, allowing them to conduct scientific research and write papers based on this book. It is also an ideal reference book for undergraduate and graduate students in biology, biochemistry, microbiology, and biomedical disciplines. Additionally, it is helpful for readers in chemistry, chemical engineering, zoology, and botany who wish to enhance their experimental skills.
