About this book

This updated book reflects improvements in a variety of techniques used to study the aptamer field. Beginning with a section on selection procedures, the volume continues with methods to characterize aptamers’ interaction and structural properties by biophysical approaches, as well as a variety of applications that have been adapted to the aptamer compound class. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step and readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. 

Authoritative and up-to-date, Nucleic Acid Aptamers: Selection, Characterization, and Application, Second Edition serves as an ideal guide for researchers aiming to further our understanding of aptamer biology and more.
