Active packaging for various food applications
"Microbial attacks occur on food surfaces even when the food is packaged. This can be attributed to moisture permeability in the packaging materials and other environmental conditions. Therefore, active agents like antimicrobial components and antioxidants must be incorporated i…

Bioactive natural products: chemistry and biology
Natural compounds, which have evolved their function over millions of years, are often more efficient than man-made compounds if a specific biological activity is needed, e.g. as an enzyme inhibitor or as a toxin to kill a cancer cell. This book comprising of sixteen technical c…
In contrast to previous texts focusing on either computational, structural or synthetic methods, this one-of-a-kind guide integrates all three skill sets for a complete picture of contemporary structure-based design. As a result, this practical book demonstrates how to develop a…
Compounds isolated from nature have long been known to possess biological profiles and pharmaceutical potential far greater than anything made by man. However, they are notoriously cumbersome to isolate and challenging to synthesize, and the path of natural products to viable dr…
