Description
Book SynopsisA guide to the modification and cross linking of biomolecules for use in research, diagnostics, and therapeutics. It provides information on the chemistry, reagent systems, and practical applications for creating labeled or conjugate molecules. It offers a one-stop source for proven methods and protocols for synthesizing bioconjugates in the lab.
Trade Review"Most of the chapters address specific systems and reagents such as (strept) avidin-biotin, silane coupling, buckyballs & fullerenes, antibodies, liposome conjugates, and modified nucleotides—as well as a few chapters on observation techniques such as fluorescent probes and isotopic labeling. Also new since the last edition is a chapter addressing immobilization in chromatography." --ProtoView.com, February 2014 "This is an incomparable and essential guide for any scientist involved in conjugating biologically active molecules. The new edition does not disappoint with its liberal use of color (especially in reaction schemes), expanded pages, and newly added chapters. For those interested in bioconjugate chemistry, you may soon find that this is the only book on your research library shelf!" Rating: 5 Stars --Doody.com, February 2014
