This detailed volume explores fibrous proteins widely present in different biological tissues or biological structural materials. The book begins by introducing the structure of representative fibrous proteins, including animal silks, collagen, elastin, resilin, and keratin, and it then continues by providing detailed experimental protocols for the synthesis, assembly, and characterization of natural, regenerated, and recombinant fibrous proteins. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, 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.
Authoritative and practical, Fibrous Proteins: Design, Synthesis, and Assembly is an ideal guide for researchers aiming to master fibrous protein preparations with the aid of this broad and interdisciplinary perspective on understanding the structure-property-function relationships of natural and reconstituted fibrous proteins.
