Felix Franks' new volume, Protein Biotechnology, is a comprehensive compendium of state-of-the-art techniques for isolating, purifying, characterizing, and analyzing proteins as commercial products, both in vitro and in vivo. The book also highlights leading-edge analytical methods used throughout biotechnology today, especially in quality control, and contains a wealth of economic and technical information. The book's particular strength lies in its emphasis on proteins as commercial products, not merely experimental laboratory entities. Topics treated include: description and classification.
