Chemical Assays for Proteins

  • Protocol
Biomembrane Protocols

Part of the book series: Methods in Molecular Biology ((MIMB,volume 19))

Abstract

The choice of a protein assay for membranes and membrane proteins is dependent on a number of considerations: sensitivity, specificity (both with respect to variation between proteins and interference by nonprotein components), and simplicity.
