Reihe: Methods in Molecular Biology

This volume provides comprehensive protocols on experimental and computational methods that are used to study probe protein folding reactions and mechanisms. Chapters divided into five parts detail protein engineering, protein chemistry, experimental approaches to investigate the thermodynamics and kinetics of protein folding transitions, probe protein folding at the single molecule, analysis and interpretation of computer simulations, procedures and tools for the prediction of protein folding properties. 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.   Authoritative and cutting-edge, Protein Folding: Methods and Protocols aims to be a useful practical guide to researches to help further their study in this field.
