Patch Clamping: An Introductory Guide to Patch Clamp Electrophysiology

by Areles Molleman

Patch clamping is a widely applied electrophysiological technique for the study of ion channels; membrane proteins that regulate the flow of ions across cellular membranes and therefore influence the physiology of all cells. Patch Clamping aims to cover the basic principles and practical applications of this important technique. Starting with a review of the history of patch clamping, the text then goes on to cover the basic principles, platforms, equipment and environmental control, and will also include coverage of preparation types, recording modes and analysis of results.

Good book for beginners to understand the concepts behind Patch Clamping. Simple language and descriptive diagrams are the plus point of this book. Author has managed to touch wide range of topics related to this particular technique. Although book has some examples, I think it lacks real life examples from different model systems which could have given readers more comprehensive understanding.

I first read this book as I was starting to learn patch clamping and it helped me A LOT. Highly recommended!
