Focusing on new methods and techniques developed to address longstanding questions about the Golgi complex, this volume explores a diverse set of chapters, ranging from live and fixed cell imaging techniques to in vitro biochemical reconstitution systems. Each chapter provides a detailed set of specific instructions, which should enable anyone to successfully complete the assays. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series program, chapters include brief introductions to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step, readily reproducible laboratory protocols, and tips from the experts on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls.
Practical and detailed, The Golgi Complex: Methods and Protocols will aid both new and established researchers in the field by providing strong hands-on instructions that can be directly applied to their research programs.

Includes cutting-edge methods and protocols for Golgi complex research Provides step-by-step detail essential for reproducible results Contains key notes and implementation advice from the experts Includes supplementary material: sn.pub/extras
