| Biocatalysis and Biodegradation: Microbial Transformation of Organic Compounds |
| | Author(s): Lawrence Philip Wackett, C. Douglas Hershberger
ISBN: 1555811795
Publisher: Amer Society for Microbiology; (January 2, 2001)
Price: $59.95
|
| Summary: A graduate textbook or reference for specialists in academia or industry in which Wackett (biochemistry, molecular biology and biophysics, and biological processes) and Hershberger (biological processes) (both U. of Minnesota-St. Paul) explore the fundamental concepts of the microbial transformation of organic compounds and its applications in biotechnology and biodegradation. They frame such questions as what the extent of microbial metabolism on Earth is, what microorganisms participate in certain types of metabolic transformations, and how best to define microbial metabolism in light of widespread genome sequencing. |

|
| Summary: Catalytic procedures are clearly the most economical means to effect selective processes in organic synthesis. For the preparation of enantiomerically pure compounds, the utilization of enzymes is particularly attractive because of high selectivities and mild, environmentally benign reaction conditions. Taking advantage of advances in molecular biology, unique new enzymes are now readily accessible in quantity with properties that are amenable to modification on demand. This volume brings together leading contributors from the forefront of this exciting technology. In their authoritative and timely reviews they cover the state-of-the-art of biocatalysis from the discovery of novel enzymes - by modern screening, evolutionary or immunological approaches - through immobilization techniques for technical processes, to their use in the asymmetric synthesis of important target compounds. |

| Summary: Drug discovery strategies for both pharmaceutical and agrochemical applications are at a stage of rapid development. More than 30 % of sales of drugs for human consumption worldwide are of plant origin. This unique book covers the present status and future potential of natural products in drug discovery. It provides the reader with recent information regarding the impact on drug discovery, development and strategies, technical and automation aspects, and methods based on biochemistry as well as molecular biology, highlighting compounds from natural sources. Special emphasis is placed on the various strategies to gain access to natural compounds and combinatorial approaches by making use of both synthetic and biological methods. Because the renewed interest in the use of natural sources in drug discovery is an important supplement to combinatorial and parallel synthesis approaches, this book is timely and will have a great scientific impact. |

| Proteome Research: Mass Spectrometry |
 | Author(s): James, P., ETH Zürich, Switzerland (Ed.)
ISBN: 3-540-67255-9
Publisher:
Price: $111.84
|
| Summary: Recent advances in large-scale DNA sequencing technology have made it possible to sequence the entire genome of an organism. Attention is now turning to the analysis of the product of the genome, the proteome, which is the set of proteins being expressed by a cell. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis can be used to create cellular protein maps which give a quantitative and qualitative picture of the proteome. Mass spectrometry is the method of choice for the rapid large-scale idenfification of these proteomes and their modifications. An understanding of these methods is critical for scientists in the "Post-Genome" era. |
