Synaptic Vesicles: Methods and Protocols (Hardcover) (ISBN-13: 9781071619155)

This book provides protocols on the preparation of synaptic vesicles from different model systems and provides instructions for functional investigations of their transport and formation, scaffolding, filling and priming, release, recycling, and degradation. Chapters guide readers through computational approaches, simulating different aspects of synaptic vesicle anatomy and function. Written in the format of the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, each chapter includes an introduction to the topic, lists necessary materials and reagents, includes tips on troubleshooting and known pitfalls, and step-by-step, readily reproducible protocols.

Authoritative and cutting-edge, Synaptic Vesicles: Methods and Protocols aims to be a useful practical guide to researchers to help further their study in this field.
