MORE ABOUT THIS BOOK
Main description:
Patch Clamp Methods and Protocols surveys the typical patch clamp applications and advises scientists on identifying problems and selecting the best technique in each instance. The experiments described aid the researcher in pursuing new areas of electrophysiology and using the patch clamp technique effectively.
The volume includes an extensive theoretical treatise concerning single channel kinetic analysis.
