Molecular and Biological Physics of Living Systems
The living organisms and systems possess extraordinary properties of programmed development, differentiation, growth, response, movement, duplication of key molecules and in m any cases higher mental functions. But the organisms are physical objects so they must follow laws of physics yet they do not seem to obey them. Physicists cannot easily persuade themselves to accept this as finally true. Non-living objects are governed by these laws of physics and they can explain these properties. However, in the living systems too phenomena encountered like coupled non-linear interactions, manybody effects, cooperativity, coherence, phase transitions, reversible metastable states are being understoo...
Managing Science
What is science? How is it performed? Is science only a method or is it also an institution? These are questions at the core of Managing Science, a handbook on how scientific research is conducted and its results disseminated. Knowledge creation occurs through scientific research in universities, industrial laboratories, and government agencies. Any knowledge management system needs to promote effective research processes to foster innovation, and, ultimately, to channel that innovation into economic competitiveness and wealth. However, science is a complicated topic. It includes both methodological aspects and organizational aspects, which have traditionally been discussed in isolation from...
Cell Chemistry and Physiology: Part I
This is the first of a 4-volume module that is an introduction to the study of cell chemistry and physiology. It is not intended to be encyclopedic in nature but rather a general survey of the subject with an emphasis on those topics that are central to an understanding of cell biology and those that are certain to become of increasing importance in the teaching of modern medicine.We have followed what appeared to as to be the logical divisions of the subject beginning with proteins. Allewell and her colleagues stress the point that proteins fold spontaneously to form complex three-dimensional structures and that some of them unfold with the help of proteins called chaperones. Michaelis-Ment...
Computation in Cellular and Molecular Biological Systems
Computation in Cellular and Molecular Biological Systems is a selection of papers presented at the First International Workshop on Information Processing in Cells and Tissues (IPCAT 95). The book contains contributions from mathematicians, biochemists, cell biologists, physiologists and computer scientists. It is multidisciplinary in nature and deals with integrative aspects of information processing, cellular systems and dynamical methods.
Current Catalog
First multi-year cumulation covers six years: 1965-70.
Current Topics in Cellular Regulation
Current Topics in Cellular Regulation, Volume 16 considers the advances in the general area of cellular regulation. This book discusses the subcellular distribution of hexokinase in brain homogenates and experimental evidence for bound hexokinase as a compartmental control point. The enzymology and biologic significance of cytochrome c methylation, polyaromatic-biosynthetic multienzyme system, and proteolytic modulation of gene expression in sporulation are also elaborated. This text likewise covers the occurrence of cyclic nucleotide-synthesizing and -degrading enzymes in the mammalian brain and calcium ion as a positive effector of oocyte maturation. This volume is beneficial to biologists and researchers conducting work on the basic mechanisms involved in the regulation of diverse cellular activities.
Progress in Biophysics and Molecular Biology
Progress in Biophysics and Molecular Biology, Volume 32 summarizes the significant progress that has been made in the fields of biophysics and molecular biology. Topics range from metabolic regulation and transfer RNA to cellular metabolism and prokaryotic and eukaryotic ribosomes. This volume consists of five chapters and begins with a discussion of mathematical models used in the study of metabolic regulation, with emphasis on the energy metabolism of eukaryotes. The next chapter examines the possible functions of transfer RNA minor components, paying particular attention to the principle of location-function relationships. The reader is also introduced to spatial-functional correlations in cellular metabolism and highlights the role of organize multienzyme systems, along with the fundamentals of ribosome structure and function in prokaryotes and eukaryotes. A chapter that analyzes the structures and functions of transfer RNA concludes the book. This book will be of interest to scientists, students, and researchers working in the fields of biophysics and molecular biology.
Biochemical Technology, Part A
In December 1992, the Department of Pure and Applied Biochemistry at the Chemical Center in Lund, Sweden, organized an international meeting, the Mosbach Symposium on Biochemical Technology, to celebrate the 60th birthday of professor Klaus Mosbach, one of the founders of modern biotechnology. The history of Pure and Applied Biochemistry had its start in 1970, a couple of years after the foundation of the Chemical Center. Klaus Mosbach has been its professor and head of Pure and Applied Biochemistry since its start. During the 1980's he also maintained a professorship at the ETH in Zürich, Switzerland. Professor Mosbach is internationally well-known and he has world-leading position within ...
From Metabolite, to Metabolism, to Metabolon
Current Topics in Cellular Regulation, Volume 33: From Metabolite, to Metabolism, to Metabolon is a collection of articles on the study of the machinery of the living cell. The book is also a tribute to Paul Srere, an eminent biochemist, on the occasion of his sixty-fifth birthday. The book contains contributions written by students, postdoctoral fellows, and biochemists within Paul Srere's broad sphere of influence. The text provides articles that discuss topics on cellular infrastructure and metabolic organization; how carbohydrates cross the lipid membrane of bacterial cells; and macromolecular processes. The structural aspects of citrate biochemistry; the electron transport systems; nucleotide biosynthesis; enzyme organization and the direction of metabolic flow; and bioengineering applications are tackled as well. Biochemists, cytologists, and cell biologists will find the book very insightful.
Protein Structural Biology in Biomedical Research, Part A
Recent advances in protein structural biology, coupled with new developments in human genetics, have opened the door to understanding the molecular basis of many metabolic, physiological, and developmental processes in human biology. Medical pathologies, and their chemical therapies, are increasingly being described at the molecular level. For single-gene diseases, and some multi-gene conditions, identification of highly correlated genes immediately leads to identification of covalent structures of the actual chemical agents of the disease, namely the protein gene products. Once the primary sequence of a protein is ascertained, structural biologists work to determine its three-dimensional, b...
