The use of thermodynamics in biological research can be equated to an energy book-keeping system. While the structure and function of a molecule is important, it is equally important to know what drives the energy force. This volume presents sophisticated methods for estimating …
In the last several years there has been an explosion in the ability of biologists, molecular biologists and biochemists to collect vast amounts of data on their systems. This volume presents sophisticated methods for estimating the thermodynamic parameters of specific protein-p…
Kuby immunology
by Punt, Jenni, Stranford, Sharon A., Jones, Patricia P., Owen, Judith A.
The 8th edition of 'Kuby Immunology' presents an up-to-date and comprehensive introduction to the principles and findings of immunology. It contains full-colour illustrations, study questions, study aids and much more.
Centers on the BLyS(BAFF) family of ligands and receptors. This book covers basic and translational/clinical aspects of this molecular family's biology. It focuses on the BLyS family's role in the differentiation, selection, and regulation of primary and antigen-experienced B ce…
The synthesis of sterically hindered β-diketones via Claisen-type condensations using potent electrophiles is described. Specifically, examples bearing ortho-biphenyl and meta-terphenyl groups have been optimized and are prepared in high yields. A theoretical rationale for the m…
This thesis contains three parts: 1) The briefly review of chiral P, N-ligands. 2) The summary of triazole as ligands. 3) The attempt of designing, synthesizing the chiral triazole ligands.
The carbonylation of methanol to acetic acid is one of the most important applications in homogeneous catalysis. The first chapter comprises a review on the mechanistic studies into the catalytic cycle of the ‘Monsanto process’ and includes some of the most prominent studies int…
Previous work in our group has been directed towards the synthesis of crown-ethers for use in the selective complexation of metal ions and as chiral ligands for use in asymmetric catalysis. The development of a modular approach to macrocycle assembly has enabled the synthesis of…
