Stable Isotope Labeling by Amino Acids in Cell Culture (SILAC): Methods
and Protocols provides a synopsis of a large array of different SILAC
methods by presenting a set of protocols that have been established by
renowned scientists and their working groups. These include methods and
protocols for the labeling of various model organisms as well as
advanced strategies relying on SILAC, e.g. for the analysis of protein
interactions, the mapping of posttranslational modifications or the
characterization of subcellular proteomes. Written in the highly
successful Methods in Molecular Biology series format, chapters
include introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary
materials and reagents, step-by step, readily reproducible laboratory
protocols, and key tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
Authoritative and practical, Stable Isotope Labeling by Amino Acids in
Cell Culture (SILAC): Methods and Protocols will serve students and
experienced scientists alike as a valuable reference of how to make use
of the SILAC technology for their own research.
