ABSTRACT

Quantitative affinity chromatography refers to the characterization of biospecific interactions by methods that are essentially adaptations of preparative affinity techniques. This use of affinity chromatography was given extensive coverage in the previous edition of this handbook [1], which remains a valid summary of the first 20 years in this field. The basic principles behind quantitative affinity chromatography are described here in Chapter 22 of this current book, with the main emphasis in this chapter being recent theoretical developments that have occurred in this area.
