This book describes basics of synthetic peptide technology and its usage in epitope mapping for disease causing viruses of human, animals and birds.It is handy for newcomers on how to analyse the genomic data of viruses and predict antigenic determinants also called as epitopes in structural proteins of viruses and how to fish out promising epitopes.The methods for using computer alogorithms like DNASTAR software and synthesizing peptides by simple methods were described lucidly.Preparation of multiple antigenic peptides,screening of peptides representing epitopes were stated very...
