• Sommario/riassunto: This book focuses on the aggregation of recombinant proteins in bacterial cells in the form of inclusion bodies. Recent reports revolutionized the current view of inclusion bodies from that of inert deposits of inactive proteins to reservoirs of proteins that can eventually maintain biological activity and/or be rescued by cells. Aggregation is put in the context of updated knowledge about the folding and aggregation of proteins in simple cells and new perspectives derived from the application of this knowledge are presented. The following topics are addressed: a) molecular and c
