"The language used in the book is extremely clear.... The approach is very thoughtful.... This book is aimed at advanced undergraduates and beginning graduate students ... [and] would be a valuable addition to the library of any research lab at the physical end of biochemistry." Chemistry World
This book contains a broad survey on the peroxiredoxins. It involves almost all groups that contributed significant insights into the emerging field. Coverage discusses the diverse biological roles of the new protein family in the context of other antioxidant systems like those based on heme or selenium catalysis. In addition, the book...
The lactic acid bacteria (LAB) are a group of related micro-organisms that are enormously important in the food and beverage industries, preventing food spoilage and extending shelf life. This is the first reference that provides a much-needed and comprehensive account of the current knowledge of LAB, detailing the taxonomy, biochemistry,...
The consumption of functional foods has emerged as a major consumer-driven trend, based on the needs of an ever-growing health conscious population that wants to exercise greater control over its health. Focusing on an important sector of this rapidly growing field, Asian Functional Foods discusses the theoretical and practical aspects of...
'This is an excellent text of use to earth science senior undergraduates and graduates that need to develop a thorough understanding of thermodynamics.’?Geoscientist
Thermodynamics deals with energy levels and the transfer of energy between states of matter, and is therefore fundamental to all branches of science. This new...
Research on the biochemistry and molecular biology of lipids and lipoproteins has experienced remarkable growth in the last 20 years, particularly with the realization that many different classes of lipids play fundamental roles in diseases such as heart disease, obesity, diabetes, cancer and neurodegenerative disorders. The 5th edition of...
The evolution of modern cell biology tools, such as confocal imaging techniques and advanced electron microscopy methodologies, has allowed for ever improving structural and functional characterizations of the cell. Such methods complement classical genetics and biochemistry in the ongoing effort to define cellular science. This...

Captivating and easy-to understand, this proven book provides comprehensive, nursing-focused coverage designed to help you grasp both the physical and psychological aspects of...
From the viewpoint of immunotoxicology, hazards associated with nickel primarily
derive from its type-IV immunogenic properties, as it consistently ranks as the
premier anthropogenic allergen among the general population in industrialized countries.
Thus, immunology of nickel represents the major part of reviews addressing...
Differential Diagnosis in Neurology grew out of the author's daily morning reports with neurology residents and the examination of patients in front of colleagues over the last 30 years. The essence of 'differential diagnosis' is 'splitting' rather than 'lumping'. It requires bringing knowledge to the table and...
With the recent renaissance in mitochondrial biology and increasing recognition of their role in many diseases, this book provides a timely summary of the current state-of-the-art in mitochondrial research. The book opens with the regulation of mitochondrial replication and biogenesis and reviews the mechanisms and functional consequences of...
