Fully updating and adding to the popular first edition, \u003cem\u003eMatrix Metalloproteinase Protocols, Second Edition\u003c\/em\u003e includes a series of state-of-the-art techniques provided by eminent experts in the field. Beginning with a brief overview of the MMP arena, from how these enzymes fit into the larger degradome to what occurs when their expression and function in the mouse is modulated, the volume continues with sections on the expression and purification of MMPs and TIMPs, the detection of MMPs and TIMPs at both the protein and mRNA level, and our ability to assay MMP and TIMP activities in a wide variety of circumstances. Written in the highly successful \u003cem\u003eMethods in Molecular Biology\u003c\/em\u003e(TM) series format, chapters contain introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and notes on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eComprehensive and cutting-edge, \u003cem\u003eMatrix Metalloproteinase Protocols, Second Edition\u003c\/em\u003e is an ideal source for many of the essential laboratory techniques for both novice and seasoned researchers alike collected in one convenient volume.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Springer","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":45274925924503,"sku":"9781603272988","price":14690.0,"currency_code":"INR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0666\/3471\/1191\/files\/9781603272988.webp?v=1769281354","url":"https:\/\/atlanticbooks.com\/products\/matrix-metalloproteinase-protocols-9781603272988","provider":"Atlantic Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
