Advances in chemistry, biology and genomics coupled with laboratory automation and computational technologies have led to the rapid emergence of the multidisciplinary field of chemical genomics. This edited text, with contributions from experts in the field, discusses the new techniques and applications that help further the study of chemical genomics. The beginning chapters provide an overview of the basic principles of chemical biology and chemical genomics. This is followed by a technical section that describes the sources of small-molecule chemicals; the basics of high-throughput screening technologies; and various bioassays for biochemical-, cellular- and organism-based screens. The final chapters connect the chemical genomics field with personalized medicine and the druggable genome for future discovery of new therapeutics. This book will be valuable to researchers, professionals and graduate students in many fields, including biology, biomedicine and chemistry.

The second edition covers a wide range of protein-protein interaction detection topics. Protein-Protein Interactions: Methods and Applications focuses on core technological platforms used to study protein-protein interactions and cutting-edge technologies that reflect recent scientific advances and the emerging focus on therapeutic discovery. Written in the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. These well-detailed protocols describe methods for identifying protein-protein interaction partners, analyzing of protein-protein interactions quantitatively and qualitatively, monitoring protein-protein interactions in live cells, and predicting and determining interaction interfaces.Authoritative and cutting-edge, Protein-Protein Interactions: Methods and Applications, Second Edition is a valuable resource that will enable readers to elucidate the mechanisms of protein-protein interactions, determine the role of these interactions in diverse biological processes, and target protein-protein interactions for therapeutic discovery.

A collection of highly successful biochemical, biophysical, genetic, and computational techniques for studying protein protein interactions. These readily reproducible methods demonstrate how to identify protein interaction partners, qualitatively or quantitatively measure protein-protein interactions in vitro or in vivo, monitor protein protein interactions as they occur in living cells, and determine interaction interfaces. The techniques described utilize a variety of cutting-edge technologies, including surface plasmon resonance (SRP), fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET), fluorescence polarization (FP), isothermal titration calorimetry (ITC), circular dichroism (CD), protein fragment complementation assays (PCA), various two-hybrid systems, and proteomics and bioinformatics-based approaches, such as the Scansite program for computational analysis. These powerful tools are essential for deciphering how proteins interact with each other to form biological networks, as well as for unraveling protein-protein interactions in disease to find novel therapeutic targets.
