This book summarizes recent advances made in the biophysics, biochemistry, and molecular biology of the enzyme known as Photosystem I, the light-induced plastocyanin: ferredoxin oxidoreductase. The volume provides a unique compilation of chapters that includes information highlighting controversial issues to indicate the frontiers of research and places special emphasis on methodology and practice for new researchers.
Since World War II, Protestant sermons have been an influential tool for defining American citizenship in the wake of national crises. In the aftermath of national tragedies, Americans often turn to churches for solace. Because even secular citizens attend these services, they are also significant opportunities for the Protestant religious majority to define and redefine national identity and, in the process, to invest the nation-state with divinity. The sermons delivered in the wake of crises become integral to historical and communal memory—it matters greatly who is mourned and who is overlooked. Melissa M. Matthes conceives of these sermons as theo-political texts. In When Sorrow Comes,...
Biography of a American prisoner of war told by his son. He had reconstructed Samuel Lawrence Heisinger's story primariy through first hand reports, diaries, journals, scraps of paper, often buried and later uncovered or very carefully and dangerously carried to the end of the war. The information used from others' writing deals directly with the same events seen and experienced by Samuel Heisinger. Other information was collected through interviews with other prisoners who knew Samuel and letters written to his family after the war ended.
One of the major goals of researchers in the field of apoptosis is to identify targets for novel therapies in cancer, AIDS, and Alzheimer's disease. Understanding the molecular mechanisms of the various components of the apoptotic pathways is the first step to reaching this goal. The 2002 Nobel Prize in Physiology or Medicine was awarded to Sydney Brenner (United Kingdom), H. Robert Horvitz (US) and John E. Sulston (UK) "for their discoveries concerning genetic regulation of organ development and programmed cell death." Cell death is a fundamental aspect of embryonic development, normal cellular turnover and maintenance of homeostasis (maintaining a stable, constant environment) on the one h...
This book describes the principles of the bioanalytical techniques that are used in clinical diagnosis, pharmaceutical analysis, bioprocess monitoring, environmental studies and life sciences research. The primary focus of this book is on instrumental methods which are evolving rapidly due to the availability of new technologies. The basic concepts of each technique are explained in as concise and simple a manner as possible, without sacrificing generality or rigour. Part-I and Part-II are primarily for undergraduate students. Part-I describes analytical methods that are based on the separation of particles (chromatography, electrophoresis, mass spectrometry, etc). Part-II describes methods ...
This volume provides descriptions of the occurrence of the UPR, methods used to assess it, pharmacological tools and other methodological approaches to analyze its impact on cellular regulation. The authors explain how these methods are able to provide important biological insights. - This volume provides descriptions of the occurrence of the UPR, methods used to assess it, pharmacological tools and other methodological approaches to analyze its impact on cellular regulation - The authors explain how these methods are able to provide important biological insights
Synthetic biology encompasses a variety of different approaches, methodologies and disciplines and many different definitions exist. This volume covers topics such as measuring and engineering central dogma processes, mathematical and computational methods and next-generation DNA assembly and manipulation.

This volume, along with Part A and Part B, is dedicated to a description of the instruments, samples, protocols, and analyses that belong to cryo-EM. It emphasizes the relatedness of the ideas, instrumentation, and methods underlying all cryo-EM approaches, which allow practitioners to easily move between them. Within each section, the articles are ordered according to the most common symmetry of the sample to which their methods are applied. - Includes time-tested core methods and new innovations applicable to any researcher - Methods included are useful to both established researchers and newcomers to the field - Relevant background and reference information given for procedures can be used as a guide
