Many investigations into the structure and function of cells and tissues require the isolation of a particular membrane or subcellular component (organelle). This book covers all the necessary aspects, from breaking up the cells (homogenization), via a variety of separation techniques (the isolation and fractionation chapters), to characterization of the separated organelles.

Capitalizing on its full range of multimedia capabilities, this highly flexible CD-ROM dramatically displays data on over 200 core cell biology protocols, using video clips, animation, intuitive search methods, and recipe tables. Each protocol is illuminated in a comprehensible and meticulous manner, so students and researchers achieve optimum results with minimum effort. Multimedia Methods in Cellular Biology includes powerful customization features, allowing users to tailor its contents for diverse applications and protocols.
