This comprehensive book, comprising 20 chapters contributed by respected academics in their respective fields, highlights the immense contribution of traditional medicine to the discovery and development of modern drugs. Each chapter provides in-depth details, stimulating experts to further explore the flora used in traditional medicines and inspiring younger investigators to delve into the mysterious world of secondary metabolites in their quest for novel molecules. This book is of immense value to scientists, academicians, researchers, and students alike, making it a valuable addition to personal collections and libraries.
This book describes recent progress in enzyme-driven green syntheses of industrially important molecules. The first three introductory chapters overview recent technological advances in enzymes and cell-based transformations, and green chemistry metrics for synthetic efficiency. The remaining chapters are directed to case studies in biotechnological production of pharmaceuticals (small molecules, natural products and biologics), flavors, fragrance and cosmetics, fine chemicals, value-added chemicals from glucose and biomass, and polymeric materials. The book is aimed to facilitate the industrial applications of this powerful and emerging green technology, and catalyze the advancement of the technology itself.
The goal of Frontiers in Bioprocessing is twofold. First, it provides an in-depth discussion of recent developments in bioprocessing. Second, it focuses on the critical assessment of the potential of newer processing and separation techniques, including the concepts of overall process integration. This book intends to stimulate interactions among participants from various disciplinary backgrounds. It includes such topics as fermentation research, process control and measurement technology, and separation and purification in downstream processing. Those who will find this publication particularly of interest are bioengineers, biotechnologists, microbiologists, chemical engineers, as well as those studying these fields.
Biocatalysts are increasingly used by chemists engaged in fine chemical synthesis within both industry and academia. Today, there exists a huge choice of high-tech enzymes and whole cell biocatalysts, which add enormously to the repertoire of synthetic possibilities. Practical Methods for Biocatalysis and Biotransformations 2 is a "how-to" guide that focuses on the practical applications of enzymes and strains of microorganisms that are readily obtained or derived from culture collections. The sources of starting materials and reagents, hints, tips and safety advice (where appropriate) are given to ensure, as far as possible, that the procedures are reproducible. Comparisons to alternative m...
Combines fundamental and applied aspects, including preparing novel enzyme systems isolated from nature and using enzymes in a wide variety of industrial processes. A major theme is enzyme technology, which has had a broad impact in biotechnology, synthetic chemistry, pharmaceuticals, and agriculture. Some 120 papers include studies of biosensors for environmental monitoring, fighting nerve-agent chemical weapons with enzyme technology, the kinetics of inactivating enzymes by inert gas bubbling, applying thick-film technology in the mass production of biosensors, developing recombinant bacteria for degrading dibenzothiophene, sorbitol oxidase from microorganisms, improving the stability of soybean and horseradish peroxidases by covalent chemical modification, analyzing glycolysis-relevant compounds in saliva by microbiosensors, and designing and constructing a new nucleozyme.

Records of meetings 1808-1916 in v. 11-27.
The Fifth International Conference on Micro Total Analysis Systems, also known as JlTAS 2001, will highlight the latest exciting events in the world ofminiaturized devices and systems for performing chemical and biochemical experimentation This conference has become mandatory for those of us working in this field as it is indeed helping to define our discipline. We are grateful to the people of the MESA Research Institute of the University of Twente, particularly Piet Bergveld and Albert van den Berg, for starting this meeting in 1994. Their original intention was for the JlTAS meeting to be a small informal workshop. This workshop flavor was sustained through the second meeting held in Base...
The Sixth International Conference on Miniaturized Chemical and Biochemical Analysis Systems, known as /JTAS2002, will be fully dedicated to the latest scientific and technological developments in the field of miniaturized devices and systems for realizing not only chemical and biochemical analysis but also synthesis. The first /JTAS meeting was held in Enschede in 1994 with approximately 160 participants, bringing together the scientists with background in analytical and biochemistry with those with Micro Electro Mechanical Systems (MEMS) in one workshop. We are grateful to Piet Bergveld and Albert van den Berg of MESA Research Institute of the University of Twente for their great efforts t...
