It is becoming increasingly apparent that Coenzyme Q (Ubiquinone) is a major component of the electron transfer chains within aerobic micro-oganisms, photo-synthetic micro-organisms and mitochondria of eukaryotes. In particular, the proposal by Nobel laureate, Peter Mitchell, that Coenzyme Q possibly acts as a proton translocator within a proton motive Q-cycle, thus establishing an electrochemical membrane potential which in turn drives ATP synthesis, has received wide attention. This exhaustive, inter-disciplinary study discusses Ubiquinone's chemical and physical properties, metabolism, and function in different organisms.
The proceedings of the international symposium Biochemistry, Bioenergetics and Clinical Applications of Ubiquinone held in Bologna, Italy in May 1989. An important component of electron transport chains, ubiquinone has medical uses. A recipe for coenzyme Q Bolognese is included!

Since its discovery in 1957, Coenzyme Q has piqued the interest of scientists from a wide range of disciplines because of its bioenergetics, vitamin-like behavior, and interactions with antioxidant vitamins E and C. Coenzyme Q: Molecular Mechanisms in Health and Disease is a comprehensive treatise on this often-studied coenzyme. International exper
Biochemistry: The Chemical Reactions of Living Cells is a well-integrated, up-to-date reference for basic biochemistry, associated chemistry, and underlying biological phenomena. Biochemistry is a comprehensive account of the chemical basis of life, describing the amazingly complex structures of the compounds that make up cells, the forces that hold them together, and the chemical reactions that allow for recognition, signaling, and movement. This book contains information on the human body, its genome, and the action of muscles, eyes, and the brain. It also features: thousands of literature references that provide introduction to current research as well as historical background; twice the number of chapters of the first edition; and each chapter contains boxes of information on topics of general interest. -- Publisher description.
This text defines what constitutes cosmeceuticals and discusses various classes of products, from anti-ageing skin care and repair, anti-acne, and hair-growth compounds to agents for treating skin infections, rashes and irritations.
The Novartis Foundation Series is a popular collection of the proceedings from Novartis Foundation Symposia, in which groups of leading scientists from a range of topics across biology, chemistry and medicine assembled to present papers and discuss results. The Novartis Foundation, originally known as the Ciba Foundation, is well known to scientists and clinicians around the world.
Offers comprehensive coverage of the latest developments in both biochemical and physiological approaches to fungal systematics. Incorporates recent advances in molecular biology into systematics methods that can revolutionize taxonomic schemes.
Photosynthesis is a process on which virtually all life on Earth depends. To answer the basic questions at all levels of complexity, from molecules to ecosystems, and to establish correlations and interactions between these levels, photosynthesis research - perhaps more than any other discipline in biology - requires a multidisciplinary approach. Congresses probably provide the only forums where progress throughout the whole field can be overviewed. The Congress proceedings give faithful pictures of recent advances in photosynthesis research and outline trends and perspectives in all areas, ranging from molecular events to aspects of photosynthesis on the global scale. The Proceedings Book, a set of 4 (or 5) volumes, is traditionally highly recognized and intensely quoted in the literature, and is found on the shelves of most senior scientists in the field and in all major libraries.
