Leading experts review for the first time in one volume all the mjaor biochemical, molecular, bacteriological, and physical techniques available to assess antimicrobial peptides. These state-of-the-art methods ensure easily reproducible results in such important
procedures as the isolation and characterization of antimicrobial peptides, the molecular characterization of genes encoding antimicrobial peptides, and the use of
expression systems to isolate peptides.
Bioassays and microbial genetic techniques are also included, as are antibacterial assays as the final readout system.
