NMR spectroscopy has found a wide range of applications in life sciences over recent decades. Providing a comprehensive amalgamation of the scattered knowledge of how to apply high-resolution NMR techniques to biomolecular systems, this book will break down the conventional stereotypes in the use of NMR for structural studies. The major focus is on novel approaches in NMR which deal with the functional interface of either protein-protein interactions or protein-lipid interactions. Bridging the gaps between structural and functional studies, the Editors believe a thorough compilation of these studies will open an entirely new dimension of understanding of crucial functional motifs. This in turn will be helpful for future applications into drug design or better understanding of systems. The book will appeal to NMR practitioners in industry and academia who are looking for a comprehensive understanding of the possibilities of applying high-resolution NMR spectroscopic techniques in probing biomolecular interactions.
This volume provides the most widely used protocols and techniques employed in lipopolysaccharide( LPS) transport studies. Chapters detail identification and analysis of essential genes and crucial mutations in LPS transport-related genes, LPS profile determination, LPS chemical analysis, protein-LPS interaction, and LPS visualization. Written in the format of the highly successful Methods in Molecular Biology series, each chapter includes an introduction to the topic, lists necessary materials and reagents, includes tips on troubleshooting and known pitfalls, and step-by-step, readily reproducible protocols. Authoritative and cutting-edge, Lipopolysaccharide Transport: Methods and Protocols aims to deliver an overview on the multidisciplinary study of LPS transport and to identify new and innovative antibacterial strategies.

In 2014, the World Health Organization (WHO) listed cancer as the second leading cause of death and highlighted antimicrobial resistance as “a key global health challenge” that may, in a worst case scenario, lead to an annual death toll of 10 million by 2050, which would exceed predicted cancer deaths by 20%. Novel promising therapeutic options to reduce morbidity and mortality of both infectious microbial diseases and cancer are being developed based on antimicrobial peptides (AMPs), i.e., evolutionary proven antibiotics that also possess anti-cancer activities. Intriguingly, AMPs and anti-cancer peptides (ACPs) rely typically on novel mechanisms and cellular targets not used by current...
This book stems from the urgent necessity to address neurodegenerative diseases, which are among the most severe health challenges currently confronting society. Neurodegenerative diseases have become a major threat to public health in recent years, impacting millions of people globally and creating a substantial strain on healthcare systems and society as a whole. Alzheimer's, Parkinson's, Huntington's, and amyotrophic lateral sclerosis are examples of these diseases. This book offers a thorough survey of the latest developments in this rapidly growing field. This book is targeted towards a wide range of readers, including academics, researchers, medical professionals, students, policy makers, and anybody else who is interested in the convergence of neuroscience, nanotechnology, and healthcare. Irrespective of one's familiarity with the subject, this book provides motivation and insightful information to bolster our group's endeavors in combating these debilitating diseases.
Alzheimer’s disease is an increasingly common form of dementia and despite rising interest in discovery of novel treatments and investigation into aetiology, there are no currently approved treatments that directly tackle the causes of the condition. Due to its multifactorial pathogenesis, current treatments are directed against symptoms and even precise diagnosis remains difficult as the majority of cases are diagnosed symptomatically and usually confirmed only by autopsy. Alzheimer’s Disease: Recent Findings in Pathophysiology, Diagnostic and Therapeutic Modalities provides a comprehensive overview from aetiology and neurochemistry to diagnosis, evaluation and management of Alzheimer's disease, and latest therapeutic approaches. Intended to provide an introduction to all aspects of the disease and latest developments, this book is ideal for students, postgraduates and researchers in neurochemistry, neurological drug discovery and Alzheimer’s disease.
Ethnopharmacology and Biodiversity of Medicinal Plants provides a multitude of contemporary views on the diversity of medicinal plants, discussing both their traditional uses and therapeutic claims. This book emphasizes the importance of cataloging ethnomedical information as well as examining and preserving the diversity of traditional medicines. It also discusses the challenges present with limited access to modern medicine and the ways in which research can be conducted to enhance these modern practices. The book also explores the conservation procedures for endangered plant species and discusses their relevance to ethnopharmacology. Each chapter of this book relays the research of expert...
Nomenclature of Organic Compounds follows recommendations of IUPAC in naming organic compounds, carbocations, etc. The book aimed at the Undergraduate Students, illustrates the rules of various nomenclature with simple examples. A diagrammatic presentation is also given to create interest in the topic along with a comparison of different nomenclature operations for some compounds with some typical structures. A number of examples are solved in a systematic step-by-step approach.
