Textbook in PDF format

This volume provides updated protocols for chemical protein synthesis. Chapters guide readers through development methods, strategies, and applications of protein chemical synthesis. Written in the format of the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, each chapter includes an introduction to the topic, lists necessary materials and reagents, includes tips on troubleshooting and known pitfalls, and step-by-step, readily reproducible protocols. Authoritative and cutting-edge, Chemical Protein Synthesis aims to be a useful and practical guide to new researchers and experts looking to expand their knowledge.
