Annotation This book presents the state of the art in the synthesis very complex saccharide structures, written by leading scientists at the forefront of this rapidly growing field. Reflecting the particular significance in recent years of efficient and selective procedures employing enzymes for preparative purposes in the carbohydrate field, a major proportion of the articles focus on these biocatalytic methods. In addition, recent strategies for the construction of unusual carbohydrates structures employing novel and creative methodologies are highlighted. Further, particular emphasis is placed on very complex saccharide structures as well as on special solutions to problems that are particularly challenging.
• Reveals how herbalism is a powerful way to participate in the green transformation underway in our culture • Examines the radical and non-hierarchical roots of herbalism, the growth of spiritual awakening and social radicalism • Looks at the most recent research in herbalism, revealing the exponential growth in peer-reviewed literature covering phytotherapy and other herbal-oriented healing modalities Providing a comprehensive guide to the dynamic new landscape of modern herbalism, renowned medical herbalist David Hoffmann explores how ancient healing modalities are once again becoming prominent. Using the concept of viriditas—the understanding of nature as divinely intelligent—H...
Since its inception in 1945, Advances in Carbohydrate Chemistry and Biochemistry has provided critical and integrating articles written by research specialists that integrate industrial, analytical, and technological aspects of biochemistry, organic chemistry, and instrumentation methodology in the study of carbohydrates. The articles provide a definitive interpretation of the current status and future trends in carbohydrate chemistry and biochemistry. - High quality comprehensive reviews covering all aspects of carbohydrate chemistry
Incorporating contributions from microbiologists, molecular biologists, plant breeders and soil scientists this volume reports the results and recommendations of an FAO/IAEA meeting of twelve experts on biological nitrogen fixation. This volume will be invaluable to scientists working on nitrogen fixation, soil microbiology, agronomy and crop production as well as farm advisers and extension specialists. Maximising the Use of Biological Nitrogen Fixation in Agriculture is unique in that it: -reviews the latest thinking on various aspects of biological nitrogen fixation technology and applications; -reviews the possibilities in enhancing nitrogen fixation in various cropping systems; -shows ways how biological nitrogen fixation can be used to enhance crop production; -considers the applicability of these technologies to small farmers in developing countries.
Developed from a symposium sponsored by the Divisions of Carbohydrate Chemistry and of Agriculture and Food Chemistry at the 198th National Meeting of the ACS, Miami Beach, Florida, September 1989. Divided into three sections, this volume covers basic biochemical aspects of biotechnology of amylodextrin oligosaccharides, including introductions to genetic engineering, enzyme structure, and enzymology; application of specific, new analytical tools essential to characterize these new types of materials; and specific fields of utility for these polysaccharide biopolymers.
