Ion Channels Methods And Protocols

Description

Springer Ion Channels Methods And Protocols by James D. Stockand , Mark S. Shapiro

The diverse applications in this volume range from the study of allosteric regulation of ion channel activity using a classic mutagenesis approach, to the study of channel subunit stoichiometry using a novel biophysical approach based on fluorescence resonance energy transfer. Highlights include methods for heterologous expression of ion channels in cells, for determining channel structure-function, and for studying channel regulation._x000D_ _x000D_Part I.
