Isotope Labeling of Biomolecules - Applications

Zvi Kelman is the Director of the Biomolecular Labeling Laboratory (BL2), National Institute of Standards and Technology (NIST). He is also an Adjunct Professor in the Department of Cell Biology and Molecular Genetics at the University of Maryland, College Park and affiliated with the Department of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, University of Maryland School of Medicine. Zvi earned a B.Sc. in Agriculture from the Hebrew University in Jerusalem and a M.Sc. in Cell Biology from the Weizmann Institute of Science. After receiving a Ph.D. in Molecular Biology from Cornell University, he was a Helen Hay Whitney Foundation Post-Doctoral Fellow at Johns Hopkins University and Memorial Sloan-Kettering Cancer Center. Upon completion of his postgraduate training, he became a Life Technologies Professor at the Center for Advanced Research in Biotechnology (CARB), University of Maryland Biotechnology Institute (UMBI). Zvi moved to the University of Maryland, College Park in 2010 as a Professor in the Department of Cell Biology and Molecular Genetics. In 2011 he was recruited to NIST to direct the Biomolecular Labeling Laboratory.

Isotope Labeling of Biomolecules: Applications, the latest in the Methods in Enzymology series, focuses on stable isotope labeling methods and applications for biomolecules. This practical guide to biomolecular labeling looks at new techniques that are becoming widely used.
