The Nuclear Membrane

This book compiles protocols that encompass a diverse range of classical and contemporary approaches, including biochemical techniques, proteomic analyses, microscopic observations, and biophysical measurements. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, the chapters include brief introductions to the material, lists of necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and a Notes section which highlights tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.

Authoritative and cutting-edge, The Nuclear Membrane: Methods and Protocols aims to be a valuable resource for scientists seeking to explore the nuclear structure and functions in the postgenomic era.
