Current Protocols in Chemical Biology

About this book

Current Protocols in Chemical Biology provides validated protocols and enlightening overviews for researchers requiring specialized chemical techniques and tools for their studies of biology and drug design. Current Protocols in Chemical Biology describes these chemical tools, including small-molecule design, synthesis, derivatization, handling, and detection. Advances in laboratory automation, robotics, and medicinal chemistry will be described as applied to high-throughput screening (HTS) methods. Also included will be methods for modification of proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates and lipids for their use as tools in the study of particular biological systems. Investigators in the fields of medicinal chemistry, combinatorial chemistry, proteomics, pharmacology, biochemistry, glycobiology, chemical genetics, molecular biology, cell biology, and cytometry will find relevant, validated, state-of-the-art methods in Current Protocols in Chemical Biology.
