A Guide to Phospholipid Chemistry (Hanahan, Donald J.)

Abstract

This simple and straightforward book provides an introduction to phospholipid chemistry. Graduate students and practicing research scientists who are encountering these compounds for the first time will find this an excellent primer explaining the methodology for recovering lipids intact from cells and tissues. Additionally, the analytical methodology for the assay of phospholipids, together with a detailed description of the routes to their proof of structure is included. Several "hands-on" examples highlight the basic laboratory procedures.
