Membrane Protein Crystallization (MC-1)

This book is an essential laboratory manual for a wide range of scientists and students involved in the crystallization of membrane proteins. For example, beginning researchers and students will find practical instructions on how to start in this field. Researchers with some experience will learn how to improve their techniques. Experts will find advise on how to improve their methods.

The book is divided in four parts: The first part is an introduction to membrane protein chemistry. The second section covers principles and techniques of membrane protein crystallization. The third part displays examples of successful crystallization of membrane proteins and is broken into three subsections: Crystallization of Photosystem I, Respiratory Complexes, and Channel and Receptor. The fourth section focuses on informatics of membrane proteins based on crystallization studies.
