Protein Folding, Misfolding, and Disease Methods and Protocols

Protein misfolding is a key feature of many disorders in humans, given that over twenty proteins are known to misfold and cause disease.  In Protein Folding, Misfolding, and Disease: Methods and Protocols, experts in the field present a collection of current methods for studying the analysis of prot...
