Bioconjugate Techniques (2nd edition, 2008) is a book that is widely recognized as the best single source of information about the chemistry and research methods of biomolecular crosslinking, surface attachment and labeling.
This is a must-have resource when searching for methods that will facilitate the conjugation of molecules to new reagents or for novel applications. As the field of bioconjugation continues to grow, researchers in academia and industry look to link two or more molecules to form novel complexes with uniquely combined properties of the individual components. Greg Hermanson, a recognized bioconjugation technology expert, provides a complete update and major expansion of his original 2002 work which is recognized as the definitive reference in the field.
This 1202-page book is an extremely valuable source of information with easy-to-understand strategies, 850 figures and illustrations and up-to-date references. It comprehensively covers every reagent system for bioconjugation in research, diagnostics, and therapeutic development. It also discusses the latest advances in bioconjugation methods applied to nanotechnology and protein-protein interactions.
