This updated edition emphasizes the benefits of structural genomics to the wider structural research community with a diverse range of applicable methods. The book opens with an extensive section on protein production, including new methodologies for membrane and metal-binding proteins, as well as high-throughput protein production and screening. It continues with sections on structural analyses and data management, as well as modeling, simulation, and visualization. Overall, the spectrum of topics reflects the trend towards tackling more diverse challenges of studying macromolecular machineries and complexes. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include the type of detail and key implementation advice to ensure successful results. Authoritative and up-to-date, Structural Genomics: General Applications, Second Edition serves as a vital guide to structural biologists in small to medium-sized laboratories seeking to better utilize this powerful area of study.

The field of Structural Genomics has produced many technological advances that transform and accelerate structure solution and analysis. Structural Genomics: General Applications emphasizes the benefits to the wider structural research community. It also reflects the current trend in tackling the more ambitious challenges of studying macromolecular machineries and complexes. Divided into three convenient sections, topics include the cloning and production of proteins for structural studies, experimental methods, and computational methods and data analysis. Written in the 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 protocols, and notes on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and easily accessible, Structural Genomics: General Applications aims primarily to channel spin-off technologies to the average structural biologist in a small or medium-sized laboratory.
