Time-resolved Macromolecular Crystallography
X-ray diffraction studies have made outstanding contributions to structural molecular biology. The advent of high-intensity synchrotron radiation sources, coupled with the revival of the Laue method, has now made possible the rapid collection of X-ray crystallography data. As a result, protein and virus crystallography is now progressing from studies of equilibrium structures to time-resolved studies of structures at reaction stages. The full exploitation of the synchrotron Laue method for the s...
Lactic Acid Bacteria

It provides a strategic approach for readers relating to fundamental research and practical work with lactic acid bacteria. The book covers every aspect from identification, ecology, taxonomy and industrial use. All contributors are experts who have substantial experience in the corresponding research field. The book is intended for researchers in the human, animal, and food sciences related to lacti...
Largely driven by major improvements in the analytical capability of mass spectrometry, proteomics is being applied to broader areas of experimental biology, ranging from oncology research to plant biology to environmental health. However, while it has already eclipsed solution protein chemistry as a discipline, it is still essentially an extension of classical protein chemistry, owing much of its maturation to prior contributions. Unfortunately, this debt is not always evident in current litera...
The Cytokine Factsbook and Webfacts (Factsbook)
by Katherine A Fitzgerald
Cytokines are chemical messengers produced by virtually all the cells in our bodies, and effect changes in cellular behavior that are important in a number of physiological processes, including reproduction, growth and development, and injury repair. While many different cytokines have been identified, their individual functions are only partly known. In some cases, one cytokine can interact with a variety of different cell types and elicit different responses from each cell. In other cases, dif...
Includes up-to-date coverage on human health and disease. * Uses simple, clear language to convey the inspiring beauty of the structure and chemistry of life. * Early emphasis on recombinant DNA technology.

Advances in Enzyme Regulation (Advances in Enzyme Regulation, #44)
by G. Weber
This volume concentrates on subjects in the field of enzyme regulation which have reached the stage of productive summarization and critical evaluation in the light of extensive new results. This volume, comprising 21 articles by leading authorities, lives up to its goal of advancing a few steps ahead of the general front of mammalian enzyme regulation studies.
Designing Synthetic Peptides
Biochemistry: Concepts and Connections with MasteringChemistry, Global Edition
by Dean R. Appling, Spencer J. Anthony-Cahill, and Christopher K. Mathews
This package includes MasteringChemistry(R). For one or two semester biochemistry courses (science majors). A highly visual, precise and fresh approach to guide today's mixed-science majors to a deeper understanding of biochemistry Biochemistry: Concepts and Connections engages students in the rapidly evolving field of biochemistry, better preparing them for the challenges of 21st century science through quantitative reasoning skills and a rich, chemical perspective on biological processes. Th...
Fmoc Solid Phase Peptide Synthesis (A Practical Approach, #222)
In the years since the publication of Atherton and Sheppard's volume, the technique of Fmoc solid-phase peptide synthesis has matured considerably and is now the standard approach for the routine production of peptides. The basic problems at the time of publication of this earlier work have now, for the most part, been solved. As a result, innovators in the field have focused their efforts to develop methodologies and chemistry for the synthesis of more complex structures. The focus of this volu...
Primary and Secondary Metabolism of Plant Cell Cultures
At the end of the initial meeting on Primary and Secondary Metabolism of Plant Cell Cultures at Schloss Rauischholzhausen, it was decided to convene similar events on a regular basis midway between the International Congress for Plant Tissue and Cell Cul ture. We felt it was necessary to bring representatives of the research teams working in this field together to assess progress as well as to discuss future directions. The Plant Biotechnology Institute of the National Research Council of Canada...
Comprehensive and modern in its approach and coverage, this textbook explains the bioprocess engineering fundamentals of reaction kinetics, reactor design, and operating strategies for the modern biotechnology process.
