: Like other volumes in the Methods in Molecular Biology series , it highlights "useful variations and the pitfalls" of different methods to help scientists who are not trained enzymologists navigate complex reactions.
The book , edited by Michael M. Burrell , is the 16th volume in the renowned Methods in Molecular Biology series. Published in May 1993 by Humana Press, it serves as a foundational manual for researchers needing detailed information on the properties, nomenclature, and practical application of enzymes used as tools in molecular cloning and analysis. Core Content and Themes
: Guidance on Reverse Transcriptase for cDNA synthesis, Alkaline Phosphatase for dephosphorylation, and Terminal Deoxyribonucleotidyl Transferase. Methods in Molecular Biology • 16 Enzymes of Mo...
The volume is structured into (approximately 380 pages) that provide a mix of theoretical background and step-by-step laboratory protocols. It addresses a critical gap: while protocols are widely available, detailed information on the specific nature and reaction requirements of the enzymes themselves is often scattered in older literature. Key enzymatic groups covered include:
: Detailed properties and nomenclature for DNases (I and II) and specialized enzymes like BAL 31 and Mung-bean nuclease. : Like other volumes in the Methods in
: Focus on DNA polymerases, Taq polymerase for PCR, and eukaryotic nuclear RNA polymerases.
: Comprehensive sections on Restriction Enzymes (100 pages), DNA Methyltransferases, and DNA/RNA Ligases . Published in May 1993 by Humana Press, it
: Includes Proteinase K, Pronase, and various peptidases essential for protein processing. Reviewer Insights and Utility
