Consolidating knowledge from a number of disciplines, this treatise presents the recent changes that have occurred in the field since the publication of the first edition. Avoiding complex mathematics, the book explains the principles of ion-radical organic chemistry and presents an overview of organic ion-radical reactions. Methods of determining ion-radical mechanisms and controlling ion-radical reactions are also reviewed. Wherever applicable, issues relating to ecology and biomedical concerns are addressed, and inorganic participants of the ion-radical organic reactions are also considered. The book concludes with practical applications and a future outlook.
Intrigued as much by its complex nature as by its outsider status in traditional organic chemistry, the editors of the critically acclaimed The Organic Chemistry of Sugars compile a groundbreaking resource in carbohydrate and sugar chemistry that illustrates the ease with which sugars can be manipulated in a variety of organic reactions. Presenting the organic chemistry of sugars as a solution to many complex synthetic challenges, the book focuses on reactions, including the substitution of sugar hydroxyl groups, chiral catalysis, and the syntheses of monosaccharides. It also covers the latest concepts in combinatorial carbohydrate chemistry, glycopeptides, and glycomimetics.

Unique in its two-fold protective function, alpha-lipoic acid has drawn unprecedented interest for its role as a coenzyme in mitochondrial energy metabolism and as an antioxidant and cell redox modulator. This book covers the latest discoveries in the chemistry, biological action, and significance of alpha-lipoic acid in energy production, antioxidant activity, and health. First, it reviews the discovery, molecular structure, biosynthesis, and characterization of lipoic acid. Then it describes metabolic aspects and human pharmacodynamics. Finally, the book discusses clinical aspects and the treatment of metabolic syndrome, along with the loss of mitochondrial function and lipoic acid supplementation.
Presented in a concise, logical, and easy-to-follow format, the revised and expanded second edition of the Practical Handbook of Biochemistry and Molecular Biology provides essential reference information that cannot be easily obtained from another single source. This new edition features all information on CD-ROM to offer even faster and more convenient access to the most important topics that are relevant to each reader’s needs. With physical and chemical data, this updated disk offers complete coverage of proteins, nucleic acids, lipids, carbohydrates, amino acids, peptides, vitamins, proteomics, genomics, as well as cell biology, among other critical topics.
