Phage Engineering and Analysis

This volume explores the latest developments in the study and application of phage biology. The chapters in this book are divided into five parts and cover topics such as phage display, selection, and evolution; genetic and chemical modification of phages; analyzing structures by electron microscopy; characterizing phage transcripts and proteins; and the biology of whole phages. 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.
Cutting-edge and comprehensive, Phage Engineering and Analysis: Methods and Protocols is a valuable resource that will help both expert and novice researchers - from backgrounds ranging from microbiologists to biophysicists to chemical engineers - further enhance their understandingof this important and evolving field.
