Post-translational Processing
Post-translational Modification: A Practical Approach and its companion volume Protein Expression: A Practical Approach form the final part of the PAS mini-series on protein synthesis and processing. This volume begins with a chapter on protein sequencing followed by a chapter on protein folding and import into organelles. The next three chapters cover the three major forms of covalent modification: phosphorylation, glycosylation, and lipid modification. Proteolytic processing the is the next topic and the final two chapters are concerned with protein turnover in mammalian cells and yeast. This book is a comprehensive volume of the best current methodology and is designed to be used at the bench or away from the bench to gain insight into future experimental approaches.
Protein Purification Applications
Proteins are an integral part of molecular and cellular structure and function and are probably the most purified type of biological molecule. In order to elucidate the structure and function of any protein it is first necessary to purify it. Protein purification techniques have evolved over the past ten years with improvements in equipment control, automation, and separation materials, and the introduction of new techniques such as affinity membranes and expanded beds. These developments have reduced the workload involved in protein purification, but there is still a need to consider how unit operations linked together to form a purification strategy, which can be scaled up if necessary.

Peptidases and Neuropeptide Processing
The volumes in this series include contemporary techniques significant to a particular branch of neuroscience. They are an invaluable aid to the student as well as the experienced researcher not only in developing protocols in neuroscience but in disciplines where research is becoming closely related to neuroscience. Each volume of Methods in Neurosciences contains an index, and each chapter includes references. Dr. Conn became Editor-in-Chief of the series beginning with Volume 15, so each subsequent volume could be guest-edited by an expert in that specific field. This further strengthens the depth of coverage in Methods in Neurosciences for students and researchers alike. - Comprehensive protocols included for: Enzymes involved in the activation of bioactive peptidases and proteins - Prohormone/neuropeptide processing pathways - Enzymes involved in peptide metabolism - Posttranslational processing enzymes
Metalloproteinases as Targets for Anti-Inflammatory Drugs
This volume describes recent research in the field of metalloproteinases (a family of enzymes that can catalyze tissue degradation), in particular their participation in autoimmune diseases such as rheumatoid arthritis, reviewing the latest developments in metalloproteinase inhibitor design and the current status of clinical candidates. This volume is intended not only for those active in research into metalloproteinases but also for those with an interest in inflammatory diseases. Thus it addresses both academic and industrial researchers.
The Biochemistry of Bacterial Cytochromes
This book includes the descriptions of all bacterial cytochromes so far purified and characterized. The bacterial cytochromes are classified on the basis of their functions and are listed in a large number of tables for the convenience of the reader. The author himself is the discoverer of the nitrite reductase of the cd1-type; therefore, the nitrite reductase is described in great detail.
Cell Surface Peptidases in Health and Disease
Cells bristle with a battery of surface enzymes, of which the peptidases form the largest and best studied group. These ectopeptidases play crucial roles in many diverse biological functions, including the termination of peptide signals in the nervous system and at peripheral sites. Some of their key physiological roles, such as those of angiotensin- and endothelin-converting enzymes in generating vasoconstrictive agents and endopeptidase-24.11 in activating natriuretic peptides, enkephalins and tachykinins, have made them prime targets for the pharmaceutical industry. Interest among immunologists and haematologists was aroused when several were shown to be identical to cell-surface markers (CD antigens) on human leukocytes. Virologists have been excited to find that some double as receptors for certain viruses.
Social Register Locater
The locater lists in alphabetical order every name in all the Social registers and indicates the family's head under which it may be found and the city in which the name appears.
