During the period 1981 ? 1990, important areas of research being recognized were visual information processing, monoclonal antibodies, pharmacology, molecular biology and transplantation. The laureates according to the specific year are: (1981) R W SPERRY ? for his discoveries concerning the functional specialization of the cerebral hemispheres; D H HUBEL & T N WIESEL ? for their discoveries concerning information processing in the visual system; (1982) S K BERGSTRM, B I SAMUELSSON & J R VANE ? for their discoveries concerning prostaglandins and related biologically active substances; (1983) B McCLINTOCK ? for her discovery of mobile genetic elements; (1984) N K JERNE, G J F KHLER & C MI...
Carbonic anhydrases (CAs; EC 4.2.1.1) are metalloenzymes present in all kingdoms of life, as they equilibrate the reaction between three simple but essential chemical species: CO2, bicarbonate, and protons. Discovered more than 80 years ago, in 1933, these enzymes have been extensively investigated due to the biomedical application of their inhibitors, but also because they are an extraordinary example of convergent evolution, with seven genetically distinct CA families that evolved independently in Bacteria, Archaea, and Eukarya. CAs are also among the most efficient enzymes known in nature, due to the fact that the uncatalyzed hydration of CO2 is a very slow process and the physiological d...
The Lloyd's Register of Shipping records the details of merchant vessels over 100 gross tonnes, which are self-propelled and sea-going, regardless of classification. Before the time, only those vessels classed by Lloyd's Register were listed. Vessels are listed alphabetically by their current name.
The last few years have seen an unprecedented drive toward theapplication of proteomics to resolving challenging biomedical andbiochemical tasks. Separation techniques combined with modern massspectrometry are playing a central role in this drive. This bookdiscusses the increasingly important role of mass spectrometry inproteomic research, and emphasizes recent advances in the existingtechnology and describes the advantages and pitfalls as well. * Provides a scientifically valid method for analyzing theapproximatey 500,000 proteins that are encoded in the humangenome * Explains the hows and whys of using mass spectrometry inproteomic analysis * Brings together the latest approaches combining separationtechniques and mass spectrometry and their application in proteomeanalysis * Comments on future challenges and how they may be addressed * Includes sections on troubleshooting

The Mosaic of Autoimmunity: The Novel Factors of Autoimmune Diseases describes the multifactorial origin and diversity of expression of autoimmune diseases in humans. The term implies that different combinations of factors in autoimmunity produce varying and unique clinical pictures in a wide spectrum of autoimmune diseases. Most of the factors involved in autoimmunity can be categorized into four groups: genetic, immune defects, hormonal and environmental factors. In this book, the environmental factors are reviewed, including infectious agents, vaccines as triggers of autoimmunity, smoking and its relationship with rheumatoid arthritis, systemic lupus erythematosus, thyroid disease, multiple sclerosis and inflammatory bowel diseases. An entirely new syndrome, the autoimmune/inflammatory syndrome induced by adjuvants (ASIA), is also included, along with other diseases that are now recognized as having an autoimmune etiopathogenesis.
Studies in Natural Products Chemistry, Volume 78 covers the synthesis or testing and recording of the medicinal properties of natural products, providing cutting-edge accounts of the fascinating developments in the isolation, structure elucidation, synthesis, biosynthesis and pharmacology of a diverse array of bioactive natural products. Natural products in the plant and animal kingdom offer a huge diversity of chemical structures that are the result of biosynthetic processes that have been modulated over the millennia through genetic effects. With rapid developments in spectroscopic techniques and accompanying advances in high-throughput screening techniques, it has become possible to isolate and then determine the structures and biological activity of natural products rapidly, thus opening up exciting opportunities in the field of new drug development to the pharmaceutical industry. - Focuses on the chemistry of bioactive natural products - Contains contributions by leading authorities in the field - Presents sources of new pharmacophores
The second of two volumes covering the most recent developments in this new field. Like the previous volume, this book brings together the two fields of immunology and pharmacology, and offers a review format for advances in basic aspects, as well as an update in discussion format of therapy-related advances.
