Sommario/riassunto

This is the first book to detail bioanalytical technologies and methods that have been developed using aptamers in analytical, medical, environmental, and food science applications. After an introduction to aptamers, aptamer targets, and their general uses, it discusses different applications with particular attention to the comparison between aptamer-based biosensors and methods versus the corresponding immunosensors. Examples of aptamer-based diagnostic techniques include whole-cell protein profiling (proteomics) and medical diagnostics for the distinction of diseased versus healthy states.

Sommario/riassunto

Many students set out in further and higher education with little grounding in the skills required for academic writing. This practical guide will give students a command of grammar, spelling and punctuation, enabling them to improve the quality and accuracy of their writing. The book includes:    - the basics of English grammar  - how sentences are structured;  - help with spelling and punctuation;  - tips on avoiding the most common mistakes and pitfalls;  - advice on how students can improve their writing in essays, reports and projects.    The book is pac
