[RASMB] New AUC book

[David Scott]

Hello All,

I bring you all good news!

The first new book for 11 years on Analytical Ultracentrifugation will be published on November 30th 2005 by the Royal Society of Chemistry (UK). You can now pre-order your copy either from reputable booksellers such as Amazon, or directly from the RSC web site:


Modern Analytical Ultracentrifugation: Techniques and Methods
Editors David J. Scott, Stephen E. Harding & Arthur J. Rowe.

Book Synopsis 
++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++++
Analytical ultracentrifugation has become an increasingly important technique for monitoring the size and shape of biological macromolecules. 
Analytical Ultracentrifugation: Techniques and Methods contains contributions from experts in the field, bringing together the multitude of developments that have taken place in instrumentation and analysis over the past decade into a single volume.
This book covers the latest methods in analysis along with an extensive introduction for the novice user. Analysis methods in both sedimentation velocity and sedimentation equilibrium are discussed at length. Protein, protein/DNA, membrane proteins and polymer systems are also explored, along with software developments and non-ideality.
