This book is written for researchers and students interested in the function and role of chemical elements in biological or environmental systems. Experts have long known that the Periodic System of Elements (PSE) provides only an inadequate chemical description of elements of biological, environmental or medicinal importance. This book explores the notion of a Biological System of the Elements…
Pencemaran lingkungan merupakan salah satu masalah utama akibat laju industrialisasi yang cepat dan eksploitasi sumber daya alam yang tidak terkendali. Ini mengarah pada peningkatan paparan ekosistem terhadap zat yang disebut xenobiotik. Istilah xenobiotik berasal dari kata Yunani ξένoς (xenos) = orang asing, orang asing dan ßí Jadi, xenobiotik adalah bahan kimia atau zat lain yang biasan…
Ilmu pengetahuan hayati berkembang pesat setiap harinya. Peningkatan genomik dan teknik analisis terkait sangat mendorong perkembangan pesat transkriptomik, proteomik, metabolomik, dan fenomenik. Dengan demikian, sarana integrasi sistem dapat digunakan untuk mengungkapkan fenomena kehidupan di berbagai tingkatan. Pemikiran dan metode penelitian di atas melahirkan biologi sistem. Metabolomik mer…
The book focuses on the aqueous interface of biomolecules, a vital yet overlooked area of biophysical research. Most biological phenomena cannot be fully understood at the molecular level without considering interfacial behavior. The author presents conceptual advances in molecular biophysics that herald the advent of a new discipline, epistructural biology, centered on the interactions of w…
This book is intended as a reference guide for graduate students, postgraduate students and researchers with a basic knowledge of protein chemistry who would like to know more about the biomedical applications of natural proteins to promote healthier lives. The book is divided into ten chapters, each of which explains different natural proteins and their established biomedical applications. …
This is the second monograph by the author on biological materials of marine origin. The initial book is dedicated to the biological materials of marine invertebrates. This work is a source of modern knowledge on biomineralization, biomimetics and materials science with respect to marine vertebrates. For the first time in scientific literature the author gives the most coherent analysis of the …
The strongest point of this book titled “Biochemistry of Oxidative Stress: Physiopathology and Clinical Aspects”, is that the academic and scientific background of the authors/editors guarantee the authorship of a book comprising all aspects of oxidative stress, ranging from very molecular aspects, to clinical application, including the antioxidant therapy. Of particular importance is the f…
Beer is the most popular alcoholic beverage in the world. Yet, behind each glass of beer there is an enormous amount of work invested. If the first image that comes to your mind is the lifting of heavy bags of malt or carrying kegs, guess again! Most of the work involved in brewing is carried out by “microworkers” – yeast and their enzymes! These special helpers are responsible for cataly…
This new edition provides a comprehensive look at the molecular genetics and biochemical basis of fungal biology, covering important model organisms such as Aspergilli while also integrating advances made with zygomycetes and basidiomycetes. This book groups a total of 15 chapters authored by expert scholars in their respective fields into four sections. Five chapters cover various aspects of …
