Biological and Biomedical Infrared Spectroscopy
Although infrared spectroscopy has been applied with success to the study of important biological and biomedical processes for many years, key advances in this vibrant technique have led to its increasing use, ranging from characterization of individual macromolecules (DNA, RNA, lipids, proteins) to human tissues, cells and their components. Infrared spectroscopy thus has a significant role to play in the analysis of the vast number of genes and proteins being identified by the various genomic sequencing projects. Whilst this book gives an overview of the field, it highlights more recent developments, such as the use of bright synchrotron radiation for recording infrared spectra, the development of two-dimensional infrared spectroscopy and the ability to record infrared spectra at ultra fast speeds.
Heavy Metal Toxicity and Tolerance in Plants
Comprehensive resource detailing the molecular mechanisms underlying heavy metal toxicity and tolerance in plants Heavy Metal Toxicity and Tolerance in Plants provides a comprehensive overview of the physiological, biochemical, and molecular basis of heavy metal tolerance and functional omics that allow for a deeper understanding of using heavy metal tolerance for deliberate manipulation of plants. Through the authors’ unique approach, the text enables researchers to develop strategies to enhance metal toxicity and deficiency tolerance as well as crop productivity under stressful conditions, in order to better utilize natural resources to ensure future food security. The text presents the ...
Vibrational Spectroscopy in Diagnosis and Screening
In recent years there has been a tremendous growth in the use of vibrational spectroscopic methods for diagnosis and screening. These applications range from diagnosis of disease states in humans, such as cancer, to rapid identification and screening of microorganisms. The growth in such types of studies has been possible thanks to advances in instrumentation and associated computational and mathematical tools for data processing and analysis. This volume of Advances in Biomedical Spectroscopy contains chapters from leading experts who discuss the latest advances in the application of Fourier transform infrared (FTIR), Near infrared (NIR), Terahertz and Raman spectroscopy for diagnosis and screening in fields ranging from medicine, dentistry, forensics and aquatic science. Many of the chapters provide information on sample preparation, data acquisition and data interpretation that would be particularly valuable for new users of these techniques including established scientists and graduate students in both academia and industry.
New Biomedical Materials
In recent years there have been tremendous advances in the fields of chemistry, physics and biology which have a direct impact on advances in biomaterials science. Many areas of healthcare depend upon the development of novel biomaterials. This book contains contribution from scientists who have made numerous innovative and exciting advances in the field of biomedical materials. The latest advances in the field are covered including studies of cell interactions with biomaterials. The assessment of the potential applications for the development of new biomaterials, tissue engineering and future medical devices are discussed. It will also provide an opportunity to discuss the latest developments in the field and the vision for the future. The book clearly illustrates how basic and applied research are being combined to produce novel biomaterials.
Biomembrane Structures
Biological membranes play a significant role in a range of biological processes such as ion-transport and signal transduction. Over the years much effort has been devoted towards developing an understanding of biomembrane structure. The study of this subject is now reaching an important stage. This is because at last the full three-dimensional structure of certain membrane proteins is beginning to be resolved. In the past three-dimensional structures of membrane proteins were difficult to obtain as only two dimensional crystals were available. In recent years satisfactory crystals have been obtained and X-ray diffraction techniques have been applied. This has led to the three dimensional str...

Molecular Mechanisms of Transport
The Proceedings of the 22nd Symposium of the Bari Meetings provides a comprehensive and timely record of the biochemical aspects of biomembrane transport. The vast field of biomembrane transport has made great strides towards the understanding of its mechanisms by the molecular approach. This book collects papers by young members of the biochemical community, concentrating on this specific aspect of biomembrane transport and comprising the most recent results in the area. More transport systems are being defined in terms of their catalysts, pumping systems and carriers. Further, the description of transport has advanced to describe its regulation, control and mechanisms by which energy drives transport. Transport systems in a variety of membranes such as cell membranes, mitochondria and bacteria are discussed. Thus, this volume describes major achievements and new openings of interest to scientists from a variety of fields involving biological transport.
Infrared Analysis of Peptides and Proteins
Infrared radiation (IR) analysis is proving a powerful tool for understanding the structure and function of peptides and proteins, but the method remains relatively little known. This book examines these applications in detail, providing a valuable source for both basic methods and new refinements.
Biomolecular NMR Spectroscopy
Nuclear Magnetic Resonance (NMR) spectroscopy is the most powerful technique for characterization of biomolecular structures at atomic resolution in the solution state. This timely book, entitled "Biomolecular NMR Spectroscopy," focuses on the latest state-of-the-art NMR techniques for characterization of biological macromolecules in the solid and solution state. The editors, Dr. Andrew Dingley (University of Auckland, New Zealand) and Dr. Steven Pascal (Massey University, New Zealand) have organized the book into four sections, covering the following topics: sample preparation, structure and dynamics of proteins, structure and dynamics of nucleic acids and protein-nucleic acid complexes, and rapid and hybrid techniques--
