Membrane Transporters: Methods and Protocols
Original price was: $169.00.$135.20Current price is: $135.20.Add to cartMembrane transporters and channels play key roles in drug absorption and distribution, influence drug efficacy and toxicity, and are the target of about 30% of currently marketed drugs. In Membrane Transporters: Methods and Protocols, a panel of recognized basic and clinical investigators-many world-famous-describe their proven, cutting-edge methodologies for studying these important proteins. Treated in step-by-step detail, these techniques take advantage of all the latest developments in biomedical research, including pharmacogenomics, bioinformatics, and microarray technologies. The authors explain databases and tools for bioinformatics analysis, provide practical guidelines for microarray experiments and data analysis, and illustrate the use of small-angle X-ray scattering, nuclear magnetic resonance (NMR), and molecular modeling to study the structural biology of membrane transporters. Methods for exploring structure-function correlation, such as site-directed mutagenesis, immunocytochemistry, and confocal microscopy, are also described, along with several methods that may help in the development of novel therapeutics. Each technique contains hands-on instructions, many notes on avoiding the problems that one may encounter, and suggestions for variant procedures.
Comprehensive and highly practical, Membrane Transporters: Methods and Protocols offers investigators working in biopharmaceutical science, drug discovery, and drug delivery both an array of powerful tools for work on membrane transporters and an essential guide to the state-of-the-art in the membrane transporter field today.

Metazoan Life without Oxygen
Original price was: $269.00.$215.20Current price is: $215.20.Add to cartMany multicellular animals do not require oxygen to live but respire anaerobically. Some of these have adapted to hostile environments, such as sulphide rich habitats, others live as parasites within host organisms, while others still can perhaps be said to look back on the early days of life on earth before anaerobic respiration had evolved.

Microwave Techniques and Protocols
Original price was: $179.00.$143.20Current price is: $143.20.Add to cartMicrowave technology can significantly reduce sample turnaround times, enhance quality, and reduce hazardous wastes when compared to bench or automated methods. In Microwave Techniques and Protocols, Richard Giberson and Richard Demaree, Jr., have collected a wide range of these time-saving techniques for processing biological samples for evaluation by many different microscopic methods.
Comprehensive and time saving, Microwave Techniques and Protocols demonstrates for anyone processing biological samples for immunocytochemistry, decalcification, and light or electron microscopy that microwave technology is a critically important tool in all experimental and clinical research laboratories today.

Model-based Geostatistics (Springer Series in Statistics)
Original price was: $199.00.$159.20Current price is: $159.20.Add to cartThe authors have written an expository text, emphasizing statistical methods and applications rather than the underlying mathematical theory. Analyses of datasets from a range of scientific contexts feature prominently, and simulations are used to illustrate theoretical results. Readers can reproduce most of the computational results in the book by using the authors’ R-based software package, geoR, whose usage is illustrated in a computation section at the end of each chapter.
The book assumes a working knowledge of classical and Bayesian methods of inference, linear models, and generalized linear models, but does not require previous exposure to spatial statistical models or methods. The authors have used the material in MSc-level statistics courses.
