This volume presents detailed laboratory protocols regarding the three major route technologies luciferases, efficient optical probes, and applications to visualizing molecular events in living subjects. Bioluminescence: Methods and Protocols, Third Edition guides readers through chapters on ingredients of bioluminescent probes, and fabrication of bioluminescent probes, applications to living subjects and instrumentations. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and practical, Bioluminescence: Methods and Protocols, Third Edition is a useful complement to the first and second edition for new and experienced researchers alike.

This detailed collection explores recent advances in molecular imaging techniques involving bioluminescence, currently employed in biolaboratories around the world. Volume 2 delves into techniques for heterogeneous conjugates, protein fragment-complementation assays, BRET-based imaging, as well as instrumentation and software. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and comprehensive, Bioluminescence: Methods and Protocols, Fourth Edition, Volume 2 presents practical guidance for researchers and technical staff on how to proceed with bioluminescence studies in their laboratories.

This detailed book highlights recent advances in molecular imaging techniques and protocols, designed to be immediately applicable in global bio-laboratories. The chapters are categorized into seven major groups according to the reporter materials, such as imaging with passive optical readouts, activatable bioluminescent probes, functional substrates and luciferases, organic fluorescent probes, BRET probes, FRET probes, as well as with advanced instrumentation. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and practical, Live Cell Imaging: Methods and Protocols aims to direct and inspire researchers into creating smarter, next-generation imaging techniques that are truly quantitative, highly sensitive, and readily comprehended, in the effort to engender deeper understanding of biological systems and break new ground in the research fields of life science.
