This third edition expands on the previous editions with updated
and new chapters on protein chromatography. Chapters detail protein
stability and storage, avoiding proteolysis, protein quantitation
methods, generation and purification of recombinant proteins,
recombinant antibody production, and the tagging of proteins.
Written in the format of the highly successful Methods in
Molecular Biology series, each chapter includes an
introduction to the topic, lists necessary materials and reagents,
includes tips on troubleshooting and known pitfalls, and
step-by-step, readily reproducible protocols. Â Authoritative
and cutting-edge, Protein Chromatography: Methods and
Protocols, Third Edition aims to provide commonly used methods and
new approaches to help both new researchers and experts expand
their knowledge.Â
While living in Japan, John Milne (1850 1913) sought to study the
1880 Yokohama earthquake, soon realising that scientists lacked the
proper tools. Aided by colleagues, he went on to develop the
necessary instrumentation, and by 1896 he had built the first
seismograph capable of recording major earthquakes in any part of
the world. His textbook Earthquakes and Other Earth Movements (also
reissued in this series) had appeared in 1886. In this follow-up
work, published in 1898, Milne continues to discuss the nature of
earthquakes, the methods and equipment needed to investigate them,
and how to apply this knowledge to construction. He references the
research, hypotheses and formulae of modern scientists, also noting
in passing the suggestions made by earlier authors on the causes of
seismic activity. The text is accompanied by many diagrams,
especially of experimental apparatus, and several photographs
illustrate damaged buildings and bridges."
John Milne (1850 1913) was a professor of mining and geology at the
Imperial College of Engineering, Tokyo. While living in Japan,
Milne became very interested in seismology, prompted by a strong
seismic shock he experienced in Tokyo in 1880. Sixteen years later
Milne and two colleagues completed work on the first seismograph
capable of recording major earthquakes. This book, originally
published in London in 1886, explains why earthquakes happen and
what effects they have on land and in the oceans. As Milne points
out, Japan provided him with 'the opportunity of recording an
earthquake every week'. Starting with an introduction examining the
relationship of seismology to the arts and sciences, the book
includes chapters on seismometry, earthquake motion, the causes of
earthquakes, and their relation to volcanic activity, providing a
thorough account of the state of knowledge about these phenomena
towards the end of the nineteenth century.
