A select group of 40 eminent scientists from all parts of the world met to consider the current state of chemical and biological knowledge on the ever-expanding protein universe, and to discuss emerging opportunities for the foreseeable future. Scientific approaches to discover, characterize, and regulate protein functions were discussed over a range of disciplines, including natural product chemistry, microbiology, enzymology, biochemistry, structural biology, chemical biology, and glycobiology. Some notable highlights included discovery of new enzymatic pathways, innovative carbohydrate chemistry, design of proteins containing unnatural amino acids, structural elucidation of complex supramolecular machines, and design and application of small molecule drugs, biologics and biosimilars.This fascinating compendium of scientific presentations and in-depth discussions affords a unique perspective on today's protein chemistry and biology as well as on the challenges for tomorrow.
The two systems investigated here are both implicated, in extremely divergent ways, in cancer and cancer therapy. Crystal structures of the purine biosynthetic enzyme ATIC have provided several "snapshot" images that are now being incorporated into the design and development of potent anti-neoplastic compounds. The x-ray structures of the natural killer cell receptor NKG2D have provided novel insights into the recognition of transformed and infected cells by the innate immune system. The purine biosynthetic enzyme ATIC encompasses both folate-dependent AICAR transformylase and IMP cyclohydrolase activities which are responsible for the penultimate and final catalytic steps of the purine de n...
The current volume continues the tradition of the Organic Synthesis series, providing carefully checked and edited experimental procedures that describe important synthetic methods, transformations, reagents, and synthetic building blocks or intermediates with demonstrated utility in organic synthesis. These significant and interesting procedures should prove worthwhile to many synthetic chemists working in increasingly diverse areas. A trusted guide for professionals in organic and medicinal chemistry in academia, government, and industries, including phar-maceuticals, fine chemicals, agrochemicals, and biotech.
