Glycosaminoglycans

This second edition volume expands on the previous edition with new information on the structural analysis of glycosaminoglycans (GAGs); chemical and enzymatic synthesis of GAGs; biophysical, biochemical, and computational analysis of GAG-protein interactions; molecular and genetic approaches to manipulating GAG cell biology; and molecular and genetic methods involving animal models and organoids. This volume also offers insight and guidance to non-glycoscience researchers who are performing advanced experiments on GAGs. 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 authoritative, Glycosaminoglycans: Methods and Protocols, Second Edition is a valuable experimental manual for practicing researchersincluding graduate and post-doctoral fellows, and provides them with the latest methodologies and practical tips to overcoming barriers in understanding the chemistry and biology of GAGs.
