Abstract:
Hands-on experts from academia and industry comprehensively describe how to successfully perform all the critical HPLC techniques needed for the analysis of peptides and proteins. The methods range from commonly used techniques to those for capillary to large-scale preparative isolation. The authors have also presented a number of specific applications as case studies to illustrate the analytical approaches to a particular separation or assay challenge, with examples drawn from contemporary fields in biochemistry and biotechnology.

International experts from academia and industry offer protocols for performing commonly used techniques of high-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC), which have revolutionized the characterization of basic biological processes and development of novel peptide and protein-based pharmaceuticals. Following an overview of basic HPLC theory and methodology, Aguilar (biochemistry and molecular biology, Monash U., Clayton, Victoria, Australia) introduces the 27 chapters' themes, including achieving high resolution and capillary to large-scale preparative isolation. Case studies illustrate analytical challenges and diverse applications in biochemistry and biotechnology.Copyright 2004 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR
