Expression And Analysis of Recombinant Ion Channels From Structural Studies to Pharmacological Screening

Aimed at filling the gap created by recent technical development sin several key areas, this book is directed at both the new and the experienced researcher wishing to learn more about the considerations and methods for studying recombinant ion channels. Covering many of these new techniques for the first time, the book contains contributions from authors who routinely apply these approaches in key academic labs or major pharmaceutical companies. Rather than describing detailed protocols, to which the reader is directed by key references in each chapter, the authors instead provide a comprehensive and easily accessible overview of the techniques involved, reviewing underlying principles and and providing working guidelines as well as an understanding of the key theoretical and practical considerations associated with each topic. In each case, this practical advice is illustrated by real life examples, taken either from the author's own experience or from key examples in the literature, providing valuable practical hints not found elsewhere. The results is a compendium of practical ion channel information that will prove a valuable resource to academic and industrial researchers alike.Clare, Jeffrey J. is the author of 'Expression And Analysis of Recombinant Ion Channels From Structural Studies to Pharmacological Screening', published 2006 under ISBN 9783527312092 and ISBN 3527312099.
