Biotechnology (Biotechnology: A Multi-Volume Comprehensive Treatise) (Biotechnology S., Vol 5b)
This reference work describes the state of Biotechnology and serves as a guide to the original literature. It spans the entire field from basic concepts to industrial applications and deals with a wide spectrum of applications. These range from the production of enzymes, biomass, and primary and secondary products of microbial metabolism to the production of foods and feeds, sewage disposal, and other microbial degradations. Volumes 1 and 2 explain the basic concepts of microbial science and bio...
Histamine in marine products (FAO fisheries technical papers)
The modern biosciences make many new proteins available. Nevertheless the handling of these proteins is quite difficult due to problems with their stability. This collection gives - in the form of tables - protein stability data for various temperatures and solvents. These data are most useful for the development of protein folding and the improvement of biotechnological stability for applications of proteins. The first supplement contains material covering 1997-1999. Some previous data have als...

Neural and Metabolic Control of Macronutrient Intake
When an excessive proportion of the human energy requirement is derived from fat, the likelihood of obesity increases. Any such individual is at risk for diabetes and cardiovascular disease- grave and costly health hazards. The selective control of fat ingestion is a promising solution to these concerns. Existing data suggests that macronutrient intake can be manipulated. Further research is working to create pharmacological tools that will suppress fat consumption. It will also be possible to f...

Protein Structure Prediction
by Ernest Feytmas Feytmas, Ernest Feytmas, and Francisco Melo
Using a new, integrative approach, Molecular Basis of Aging describes the aging phenomenon within mammalian organisms from the perspective of changes in information storage and coordination between hierarchical orders of structure. This unique approach provides the reader with a thorough insight into the evolution of molecular, cellular, tissue, and organ systems and processes in mammals. This informative volume contains up-to-date reviews of:
The aim of this important book is to present the reader with developments concerning glutathione research. This work focuses on the synthesis-degradation and oxidation-reduction cycles of glutathione, the physiological functions of glutathione (especially in mammalian cells), and the analytical methods used to accurately measure the glutathione status of cells. This resource addresses specific modification of glutathione metabolism that is of special interest in the treatment of some tumors. Thi...

Biochemistry of Signal Transduction and Regulation
by Gerhard Krauss
Now the updated second edition of this bestselling title is available as softcover! Intracellular signal transduction, regulation of cellular activities, tumor formation, apoptosis - how do they work? These questions have become a central topic in Biology and Biological Chemistry. The importance of this field is mirrored in the 1999 Nobel prize for Physiology that went to G. Blobel for his findings in protein transport regulation. Over the last decade there has been great progress in the underst...
Hormones in Lipoprotein Metabolism (Lecture Notes in Physics)
by Steinmetz, J Schneider, and H - Kaffarnik
Biotechnology (Studies in Microbiology, #3) (Biotechnology: a multi-volume comprehensive treatise, Vol 5)
The purpose of this volume is to present a broad, informed view of contemporary biotechnology, a technology with ancient roots and enormous future potential. Written for both students of the subject and practitioners of research in specific aspects seeking a broader view, it is not intended as an advanced treatise but as an introduction to most major aspects of biotechnology. A substantial collection of references has been included after each chapter for those wishing to pursue more specialist s...
Optical Guided-wave Chemical and Biosensors (Springer Series on Chemical Sensors and Biosensors, #8)
For the first time, distinguished scientists from key institutions worldwide provide a comprehensive approach to optical sensing techniques employing the phenomenon of guided wave propagation for chemical and biosensors. This includes both state-of the-art fundamentals and innovative applications of these techniques. The authors present a deep analysis of their particular subjects in a way to address the needs of novice researchers such as graduate students and post-doctoral scholars as well as...
This text focuses on the biological interactions of sulphur compounds which arise specifically from the presence of the sulphur atom within the molecule. The book opens with introductory chapters on the chemistry and biology of sulphur, before tackling the field by introducing compounds which share a common chemical combination. In general, following a description of the uses and impact upon the biological field, specific chemical group characteristics are discussed together with the biological...
Stochastic Image Processing (Information Technology: Transmission, Processing and Storage)
by Chee Sun Won and Robert M. Gray
Stochastic Image Processing provides the first thorough treatment of Markov and hidden Markov random fields and their application to image processing. Although promoted as a promising approach for over thirty years, it has only been in the past few years that the theory and algorithms have developed to the point of providing useful solutions to old and new problems in image processing. Markov random fields are a multidimensional extension of Markov chains, but the generalization is complicated b...
