Product Description

This highly interdisciplinary book highlights many of the ways in which chemistry plays a crucial role in making life an evolutionary possibility in the universe. Cosmologists and particle physicists have often explored how the observed laws and constants of nature lie within a narrow range that allows complexity and life to evolve and adapt. Here, these anthropic considerations are diversified in a host of new ways to identify the most sensitive features of biochemistry and astrobiology. Celebrating the classic 1913 work of Lawrence J. Henderson, The Fitness of the Environment for Life, this book looks at the delicate balance between chemistry and the ambient conditions in the universe that permit complex chemical networks and structures to exist. It will appeal to a broad range of scientists, academics, and others interested in the origin and existence of life in our universe.

Product Description

This text provides a fresh, accessible introduction to human metabolism that shows how the physiological actions of selected organs can be explained by their particular biochemical processes.

Focusing on metabolic integration, rather than pathways, this book opens with three introductory chapters that explore the principles of metabolism and its control before moving onto ‘themed’ chapters that investigate liver, communication systems (endocrine and neurological), blood and vascular system, muscle and adipose tissue and renal biochemistry.

Targeted at non-biochemistry majors who need to get to grips with key biochemical concepts and ideas, this textbook is an essential guide for all undergraduate biomedical science, sports science, nutrition and other allied health students.

Product Description

This new edition follows the successful structure of the first edition bringing together information on a wide range of fermented dairy products. It takes particular account of the profound influence that modern biotechnological sciences are having on the traditional biotechnology of dairy fermentations. For example, the taxonomy of lactic acid bacteria and of dairy pathogenic bacteria has been revolutionized in the past decade by the adoption of molecular biology techniques. Another important feature is the inclusion of a new chapter on the sensory evaluation of dairy flavors. This is a book for dairy scientists and technologists, both industrial and academic, particularly food chemists, dairy microbiologists and biotechnologists. It will also be an essential reference source for those in product development, processing and marketing, as well as regulatory officials in dairy companies and government laboratories.

Product Description

Exploring Bioinformatics: A Project-Based Approach is intended for an introductory course in bioinformatics at the undergraduate level. Through hands-on projects, students are introduced to current biological problems and then explore and develop bioinformatic solutions to these issues. Each chapter presents a key problem, provides basic biological concepts, introduces computational techniques to address the problem, and guides students through the use of existing web-based tools and existing software solutions. This progression prepares students to tackle the On-Your-Own Project, where they develop their own software solutions. Topics such as antibiotic resistance, genetic disease, and genome sequencing provide context and relevance to capture student interest.

Product Description

“One of the most common complaints from students in upper-level chemistry courses is that the textbooks are boring, wordy and/or too difficult to comprehend. Many times they feel as if the authors are intentionally trying to obfuscate concepts. Enter the Instant Notes series of books, designed to be a clear and concise rendering of the most important concepts in a particular scientific discipline. This book is precisely that, a brief and very readable overview of most of the major concepts covered in inorganic chemistry textbooks. … It can be a very attractive supplement to a course in inorganic chemistry.

Like the other titles in the series, the book is divided by the major sections of inorganic chemistry (ten in this case; atomic structure; introduction to inorganic substances; structure and bonding in molecules; structure and bonding in solids; chemistry in solution; chemistry of nonmetals; chemistry of non-transition metals; chemistry of transition metals; lanthanides and actinides; and environmental, biological and industrial aspects). Each section is further divided into subsections that help flesh out each concept. Each subsection starts with a list of the three to five main topics, stated in one or two sentences. … The subsections are generally very short, three to five pages, and contain mostly text. There are tables, graphs, diagrams, and structures interspersed throughout the subsections that can help the reader grasp the concept at hand. Most of the chosen examples in the book are the classic ones included in traditional inorganic textbooks: NaCl is used as the example for the Born-Haber cycle, the Monsanto acetic acid process is used in the discussion of organometallic catalysis, etc.

For those familiar with the first edition, this second edition has been fully reviewed, revised and updated. It includes new material on recent developments in the synthesis, reactivity, and characterization of inorganic compounds including noble gas compounds. Also included are new chapters on inorganic reaction classification, characterization techniques, spectroscopic methods, and solvent systems.

The reason why this book is attractive – brevity and simplicity…

…This book …[is] an inexpensive supplemental text for an upper-level inorganic chemistry course. Students will benefit from the concise explanations of the concepts and will not get bogged down by cumbersome calculations. The book would also serve as a useful reference for those wishing to learn the more descriptive aspects of inorganic chemistry. Finally, … it …[is] helpful for those who need to brush up on inorganic chemistry before taking a standardized exam as most of the classic examples of inorganic chemistry are included in the book.”

Product Description

Principles of Proteomics is designed specifically to explain the different stages of proteomic analysis, their complexities and their jargon to students and researchers in a non-technical overview of the field.

The author describes the broad range of problems which proteomics can address, including structural proteomics, interaction proteomics, protein modification analysis and functional proteomics.  Methodologies are described in user-friendly language, from the more traditional two-dimensional gel electrophoresis to the new developments in protein chip technologies.  These are well presented in the context of overall strategies which can be adopted to address the different aspects of large-scale protein analysis.
