This detailed volume encompasses chapters from leading
experts in the area of membrane proteins who describe step-by-step protocols developed these last few years to improve the functional
production and stabilization of recombinant integral membrane proteins (IMPs). Membrane
proteins play a key role in numerous pathologies such as cancer, cystic
fibrosis, epilepsy, hyperinsulinism, and Alzheimer’s disease, yet studies on
these and other disorders are hampered by a lack of information about the
proteins involved. This book sets out to aid researchers in rectifying this
situation. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions
to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents,
readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and
avoiding known pitfalls.



Authoritative and up-to-date, Heterologous
Expression of Membrane Proteins: Methods and Protocols, Second Edition
serves as an ideal guide for scientists attempting to delve deeper into the myriad
unique IMP structures.
