Protein Purification 
Principles, High Resolution Methods, and Applications

The authoritative guide on protein purification–now
completely updated and revised

Since the Second Edition of Protein Purification was
published in 1998, the sequencing of the human genome and other
developments in bioscience have dramatically changed the landscape
of protein research. This new edition addresses these developments,
featuring a wealth of new topics and several chapters rewritten
from scratch.

Leading experts in the field cover all major biochemical
separation methods for proteins in use today, providing
professionals in biochemistry, organic chemistry, and analytical
chemistry with quick access to the latest techniques. Entirely new
or thoroughly revised content includes:

* High-resolution reversed-phase liquid chromatography

* Electrophoresis in gels

* Conventional isoelectric focusing in gel slabs and capillaries
and immobilized p H gradients

* Affinity ligands from chemical and biological combinatorial
libraries

* Membrane separations

* Refolding of inclusion body proteins from E. coli

* Purification of PEGylated proteins

* High throughput screening techniques in protein purification

* The history of protein chromatography
