Nanosensors for Chemical and Biological Applications (Woodhead Publishing Series in Electronic and Optical Materials)
Nano-scale materials are proving attractive for a new generation of devices, due to their unique properties. They are used to create fast-responding sensors with good sensitivity and selectivity for the detection of chemical species and biological agents. Nanosensors for Chemical and Biological Applications provides an overview of developments brought about by the application of nanotechnology for both chemical and biological sensor development. Part one addresses electrochemical nanosensors...
Protein Purification Applications (Practical Approach, #245) (Practical Approach S.)
A companion volume to "Protein Purification Methods: A Practical Approach", this volume concentrates on the purification of proteins for specific purposes, and provides clear descriptions immediately useful in the laboratory. Specific applications include large-scale techniques (for industrial and biotechnological use), high quality purification (for medical uses) and procedures of interest to biochemists, physiologists and others investigating the structure of proteins.
Oxygen Complexes and Oxygen Activation by Transition Metals
This monograph consists of manuscripts, summary statements, and poster abstracts submitted by invited speakers and poster contributors who participated in the symposium "Oxygen Complexes and Oxygen Activation by Transition Metals," held March 23-26, 1987, at Texas A&M University. This meeting was the fifth annual international symposium sponsored by the Texas A&M Industry-University Cooperative Chemistry Program (IUCCP). The co chairmen of the conference were Professors Arthur E. Martell and Do...

Gramicidin and Related Ion Channel-forming Peptides (Novartis Foundation Symposia, v. 225)
by Bonnie Wallace
Gramicidin is a 15-residue, linear polypeptide antibiotic that forms conducting channels in lipid bilayers. These channels have been studied intensively for more than 25 years as model transport systems for large protein ion channels, high-resolution structural information on which is difficult to glean. The recent availability of high resolution structural data on gramicidin allows an interpretation of ion translocation through a channel at a molecular level. This book brings together an intern...
Molecular Mechanisms in Visual Transduction (Handbook of Biological Physics, #3)
by W J Degrip, D G Stavenga, and E N Pugh
Molecular mechanisms in visual transduction is presently one of the most intensely studied areas in the field of signal transduction research in biological cells. Because the sense of vision plays a primary role in animal biology, and thus has been subject to long evolutionary development, the molecular and cellular mechanisms underlying vision have a high degree of sensitivity and versatility. The aims of visual transduction research are first to determine which molecules participate, and then...
Volume 7: 1991 (Oxford Surveys of Plant Molecular and Cell Biology)
A series of authoritative reviews of current progress in plant molecular and cellular biology. Each volume contains papers on topics in areas of molecular genetics, plant micro-organism interactions, and cell biology. The reviews are concentrated on areas of rapid development, particularly where modern techniques are allowing new insights to be gained. They are published rapidly after completion due to the pace of research in this area.
Cellular and Molecular Basis of Biological Clocks
Environmental Physiology of Plants (Experimental Botany Monographs)
by Alastair Fitter and Robert K M Hay
Already a widely acknowledged and successful work, this Second Edition has been extensively revised to reflect the vast amount of new literature in the field of plant physiology. The text deals with plant physiological responses to the environment, focusing on the boundary between physiology and ecology, and the treatment is largely based on North American and European examples with reference to the tropics when necessary.
In Silico Engineering of Disulphide Bonds to Produce Stable Cellulase (SpringerBriefs in Applied Sciences and Technology)
This Brief highlights different approaches used to create stable cellulase and its use in different fields. Cellulase is an industrial enzyme with a broad range of significant applications in biofuel production and cellulosic waste management. Cellulase 7a from Trichoderma reesei is the most efficient enzyme in the bio hydrolysis of cellulose. In order to improve its thermal stability, it can be engineered using a variety of approaches, such as hydrophobic interactions, aromatic interactions, hy...
