Numerous miniaturized DNA microarray, DNA chip, Lab on a Chip and biosensor devices
have been developed and commercialized. Such devices are improving theway many important
genomic and proteomic analyses are performed in both research and clinical diagnostic
laboratories. The development of these technologies was enabled by a...
The field of iminosugars is a very exciting area of research. These carbohydrate mimetics
were first imagined and synthesized by chemists in the 1960s before being isolated from
Nature a few years later. Since the discovery of their biological activity as potent glycosidase
inhibitors in the 1970s, iminosugars have been the subject...
Written by an acknowledged expert in the field, this book is an invaluable introductory guide for students studying chemistry, biochemistry and medicine. Provides a simple description of how aspects of molecular patholgy affect diseases.
It is my pleasure to acknowledge the enthusiasm and expertise
of the chapter authors who...
Carbonic Anhydrase: Its Inhibitors and Activators provides a state-of-the-art overview of the latest developments and challenges in carbonic anhydrase research. Authors describe the mechanisms of action of specific inhibitors in relation to physiological function, and present previously unpublished research on CA activators....
On May 21-24, 1997 the Second International Symposium on Algorithms for Macromolecular Modelling was held at the Konrad Zuse Zentrum in Berlin. The event brought together computational scientists in fields like biochemistry, biophysics, physical chemistry, or statistical physics and numerical analysts as well as computer scientists working on...
Divided into the three main sections of synthesis, analysis and drug development, this handbook covers all stages of the drug development process, including large-scale synthesis and purification of chirally pure pharmaceuticals.
The two editors from academia and a major pharmaceutical company have assembled an experienced,...
Silicone elastomers are important materials for many application areas such as automotive, electric and electronics, domestic appliances and medical. They are increasingly being used to substitute for organic rubbers, because of their advantageous properties.
This is a very comprehensive review of the state-of-the-art in silicone...
This is the first book that provides a comprehensive review of the entire area of artificial cells. The author, a pioneer of the field, invented the first artificial cells some 50 years ago and has continued to carry out active research in this field. Since then, there have been explosive research activities around the world on artificial...
This timely book provides an overview of natural products/botanicals used for the management of insect-pest and diseases. It will help readers to update and widen their knowledge about natural products and their bio-activities against plant pathogens. The volume explores activity, chemistry, toxicity and geographic distribution of plants....
This book offers concise and unbiased presentations by synthetic and analytical chemists who have been involved in creating and moving the field of combinatorial chemistry into the academic and industrial mainstream. Since the synthetic method often dictates the appropriate types of analysis, each chapter or section begins with a description...
Copper (Cu), an essential trace element, is required for the survival of organisms
ranging from bacteria to mammals. Because Cu ions can adopt distinct redox states (oxidized
Cu[II] or reduced Cu[I]), they play a pivotal role in cell physiology as catalytic
cofactors in the redox chemistry of enzymes involved in a broad spectrum of...
This book was written to provide students, engineers, and scientists
involved in pattern recognition, digital image processing, and artificial
intelligence with a comprehensive introduction to the concepts and tech-
niques of syntactic pattern recognition.
Syntactic pattern recognition is concerned with the...
