The Sixth International Symposium on Calcium-Binding Proteins in Health and Disease was held in Nagoya, Japan, July 24-28, 1988. Four hundred and seventy-two persons participated in this symposium. This large attendance is proof indeed of the growing interest in this field of research. Previous meetings were held in Jablonna, Poland in 1973; Ithaca, New York in 1977, Madison, Wisconsin in 1980; Trieste, Italy in 1983 and in Asilomar, California in 1986. The scientific program of this 1988 meeting included forty-one oral presentations given by invited specialists, ten round table presentations and one hundred and eighty-seven poster presentations. The program was set-up by the Organizing Comm...
Some of the world's leading scientists in fluoride research have contributed to the 49 research and review papers in this book. While different methods for fluoride determination have been known for many years, information concerning the determination of submicrograms of fluoride is lacking. This volume contains articles that describe newly developed techniques used for fluoride determination and their application to the analysis of biological samples. In addition, facts about inorganic fluoride air pollution in several countries and its influence on vegetation, animals, and humans are described. Although the book is primarily directed to investigators in the area of fluoride research, it should be of value to public health officials, medical, dental, and veterinary scientists, ecologists, and environmental scientists.
In the past ten years, a number of proceedings of symposia on the structure and function of proteolytic enzymes have been pub lished. Their coverage of acid proteases has been limited, mainly due to the lack of significant new information on the structure of these enzymes. In the last four years, however, the primary and tertiary structures of a number of acid proteases have been deter mined, prompting the need to discuss the meanings of the old data and the possibilities for new experimentations. It was for this purpose that the "Conference on Acid Proteases: Structure, Function, and Biology" was organized. It took place at the University of Oklahoma on November 21-24, 1976. This book is a ...
Hardbound. Control and diseases of sodium dependent transport proteins and ion channels is believed to be one of the scientific research fields which holds great interest for biomedical investigators. The topics of gene expression, modulation and traffic of ion channels, transporters and receptors are progressing tremendously in cellular and molecular biology. The expression and regulation of these areas has profound implications for research in fields such as neuronal systems, intra- and intercellular signaling and close talking, cell prolification and differentiation, and ion mobilization. Evidence from this research has fundamental effect on drug design, dialysation and gene therapy as clinical tools.The contributions in this volume are grouped according to subject. Much focus is placed on molecular biology, regulatory mechanism, gene expression, physiology, pharmacology, toxicology and drug design related to Na/H exchanger, Na/Ca exchanger, Na c
