Böcker i New Comprehensive Biochemistry-serien

Provides information on the advances in the field of lipid biochemistry. This book provides a summary of diverse aspects of lipids. It is intended as an advanced textbook for teachers and students who are familiar with the basic concepts of lipid biochemistry. It is also suitable for scientists studying lipids, lipoproteins and membranes.

Covering the major areas in the fields of lipid, lipoprotein, and membrane biochemistry, and molecular biology, this work provides summary of these research areas for scientists presently working in these fields. It also provides the basis for an advanced course for students in the biochemistry of lipids, lipoproteins and membranes.

Examines the possible role of brain lipids in the development of conditions such as schizophrenia, depression, Alzheimer's disease and personality disorders and violence.

Calcium is a versatile carrier of signals regulating many aspects of cellular activity such as fertilization to create a new life and programmed cell death to end it. Given that calcium is such a versatile messenger the field of calcium signaling is continuously and rapidly expanding. This book reviews the developments in calcium signaling.

Discusses various topics on simple protein model lattices, supramolecular protein edifices, multienzyme and gene networks. This book covers the physical and mathematical approach of biological phenomena; offers the mathematical background required to understand the text; and provides definitions and mathematical expressions of various concepts.

The elucidation during the latter half of the 20th century of the mechanisms by which information flows from nucleic acids to proteins has completely changed the face of biological research. This volume discusses several representative diseases which emphasize the status of glycopathology.

The production of proteins in mammalian cells is an important tool in numerous scientific and commercial areas. This book presents a comprehensive coverage of the technical aspects of gene expression in mammalian cells, written by experienced scientists.

Covers modern advances in the determination of glycoprotein structure and in the biosynthesis of mammalian, bacterial, yeast, plant and insect glycoproteins. This book also features two chapters on functional aspects (glycoprotein hormones and collagens). It is useful for glycobiologist researchers, and scientists working in the life sciences.

Covers proteoglycans and mucins and deals with many examples of glycoprotein function. This work also covers glycoproteins from four more species (slime mold, snails, fish, batracians). It serves as a useful information source for all glycobiologist researchers, and for scientists working in the life sciences.

Focuses on the chemical and biochemical consequences of damaging free radical reactions, the implications for the pathogenesis of disease and how this might be controlled endogenously and by radical scavenging drugs.

Shows how supramolecular complexity of cell organization can dramatically alter the functions of individual macromolecules within a cell. This book explains the emergence of new functions which appear as a consequence of supramolecular complexity in terms of physical chemistry. It puts emphasis on dynamic physical studies of biological events.

Covers modern advances in the determination of glycoprotein structure and in the biosynthesis of mammalian, bacterial, yeast, plant and insect glycoproteins. This book also looks at the functional aspects (glycoprotein hormones and collagens). It is suitable for glycobiologist researchers, senior investigators, post-doctoral fellows, and students.

Explains the computer technology for analyzing DNA, RNA, and protein sequences. This volume is aimed at molecular biologists working either in biotechnology companies or academic research environments, individual researchers and the institutions they work for, and students.
