Research output: Contribution to journalReview articlepeer-review

Abstract

The fundamental objective of all protein studies is to determine the fundamental basis of protein function and behavior by resolving the molecular interactions that dictate protein interactions. In this paper, the measurement technique and a number of direct protein measurements are described in detail.
