Chemical Signals in Vertebrates 11
This volume contains the proceedings of the conference of the same name held in July 2006 at the University of Chester in the United Kingdom. It includes all the latest research on chemical communication relevant to vertebrates, particularly focusing on new research since the last meeting in 2003. Topics covered include the chemical ecology, biochemistry, behavior, olfactory receptors, and the neurobiology of both the main olfactory and vomeronasal systems of vertebrates.
Glycoscience: Basic Science to Applications
This book presents the state of the art in glycoscience and proposes a road map for the coming decade, focusing on the potential of glycoscience research to shed light on important basic science issues and give rise to exciting new applications, especially in the field of diagnosis and therapeutics. Individual sections offer in-depth coverage of various topics relating to glycans and biopharmaceuticals, glycans in medical science and medicine, glycan technologies, glycans in food and nutrients, and glycan-related materials and their uses. In addition, the book presents an exemplary training course on glycomics and highlights educational and analytical web resources, and also includes glossar...
Sphingolipid Biology
Sphingolipids are fundamental to the structures of cell membranes, lipoproteins, and the stratum cornea of the skin. Many complex sphingolipids, as well as simpler sphingoid bases and derivatives, are highly bioactive as extra- and intracellular regulators of growth, differentiation, migration, survival, senescence, and numerous cellular responses to stress. This book reviews exciting new developments in sphingolipid biology/sphingolipidology that challenge our understanding of how multicellular organisms grow, develop, function, age, and die.
Ganglioside Structure, Function, and Biomedical Potential
This volume contains the proceedings of the symposium on "Ganglioside Structure, Function and Biomedical Potential" which was held at Parksville, Vancouver Island, B. C. , Canada on July 6-10, 1983. The symposium was organized ao a satellite to the ninth meeting of the International Society for Neurochemistry, held immediately afterward in Vancouver City, B. C. Close to 50 speakers from 9 countries presented papers on a wide range of topics on the ganglioside theme. These encompassed the many aspects of basic research that have evolved over the past half-century, as well as some newer topics relating to the biomedical potential of gangliosides as therapeutic agents. One of the purposes of th...
Glycolipids
This detailed volume presents a variety of specialized analytical methods on a wide range of glycolipids. From sphingoglycolipids to lipid A, an immune system stimulant present in lipopolysaccharide, the book delves into how glycolipid structure on the surface of the cell membrane, which characterizes each organism, is crucial for the coexistence or repulsion between organisms. In addition, glycolipids play an important role in infections in animals and other organisms by targeting host cell membranes, if enveloped viruses are considered as living organisms. Written for the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, chapters include introduction to their respective topics, lists of the necessary materials and reagents, step-by-step and readily reproducible laboratory protocols, as well as tips on troubleshooting and avoiding known pitfalls. Authoritative and practical, Glycolipids: Methods and Protocols serves as an ideal guide to the most advanced glycolipid research in an effort to help researchers make their research more fruitful.
Handbook of Glycosyltransferases and Related Genes
The so-called postgenomic research era has now been launched, and the field of gly cobiology and glycotechnology has become one of the most important areas in life science because glycosylation is the most common post-translational modification reaction of proteins in vivo. On the basis of Swiss-Prot data, over 50% proteins are known to undergo glycosylation, but in fact the actual functions of most of the sugar chains in the glycoconjugates remain unknown. The complex carbohydrate chains of glycoproteins, glycolipids, and proteoglycans represent the secondary gene products formed through the reactions of glycosyl transferases. The regulation of the biosynthesis of sugar chains is under the ...
Recognition of Carbohydrates in Biological Systems, Part B: Specific Applications
Recognition of carbohydrates in biological systems has been gaining more and more attention in recent years. Although methodology for studying recognition has been developing, there is no volume that covers the wide area of methodology of carbohydrate recognition. This volume, Recognition of Carbohydrates in Biological Systems, Part B: Specific Applications, and its companion, Volume 362, present state-of-the-art methodologies, as well as the most recent biological observations in this area. - Covers carbohydrate-binding proteins - Discusses glycoproteins and glycolipids - Polysaccharides, enzymes and cells are also covered
Data Protection & Privacy
Data Protection & Privacy, edited by Wim Nauwelaerts of Hunton & William, covers many of the most important data protection and data privacy laws in force or in preparation across 29 jurisdictions. As laws governing data protection become ever more significant whilst information becomes indispensable to commercial and public life, Data Protection & Privacy will guide you through the major issues. Topics covered include: breaches of data protection, exemptions, other affecting laws, PII formats, legitimate processing, notifications, accuracy, security obligations and breaches, registration formalities, penalties, transfers and internet use and electronic communications marketing. In an easy-t...
