Anne Zehnacker
Droycon Bioconcepts Inc., Regina, Saskatchewan, Canada
CNRS, Laboratoire de Photophysique Moleculaire, Orsay, France
In a radical departure from the classical reductionist identification of bacteria dominated by genetic and biochemical analysis of separated strains of bacteria, this book takes a generalistic approach utilizing the form, function, and habitat of communities of bacteria. It introduces the concept of bacteria community intelligence as reflected in corrosion, plugging, and shifts in the quality parameters in water, gas, oil, food, and air. Readers start with a symptom, uncover the bacterial activities, and then identify the communities distinctly for management and control.
This volume describes the structural and energetic aspects of molecular interactions responsible for chiral recognition. Topics discussed include optical spectroscopy in jet-cooled conditions in neutral chiral molecules and complexes, and mass spectrometry approaches to chiral recognition in ionic complexes. These include the study of the stability of supramolecular chiral host-guest adducts, the study of chiral catalysts and chiral selectors, the use of small DNA sequences as auxiliaries for discriminating the enantiomers of amino acids, and the probe of the chirality of a single amino acid within a peptide chain.

A Critical Introduction, Second Edition
Introduction to Drug Evaluation and Dose Estimation
Abbott Laboratories (Retired), Abbott Park, Illinois, USA
City of Hope National Medical Center, Duarte, California, USA
Applying quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) techniques, this book describes how to transform ligand structure-activity relationships into models that predict the potency or activity/inactivity of new molecules. This edition explores methods that identify the 3D conformations to use for 3D QSAR and examines statistical topics, such as partial least squares and kNN potency prediction. Along with re-analyzing old data using newer methods, the expanded case studies discuss molecular design based on 3D modeling and include comparisons of ligand- and structure-based models of biological potency.
This comprehensive overview details the process of radiopharmaceutical development, from cellular studies to animal experiments, to the design and implementation of clinical trials. It compares various radiopharmaceuticals and provides guidance on dose estimation and agent selection, covering standard medical internal radiation dose (MIRD), absorbed dose method for imaging agents, in vivo methods for obtaining activity data, errors of activity estimation techniques, and phantom-based and patient-based dose estimates. Backed by examples from clinical trials, it discusses two and three dimensional estimation processes.

Rapid advances in recombinant DNA technology and the increasing availability of peptides and proteins with therapeutic potential poses a challenge for pharmaceutical scientists who must formulate these compounds as drug products. The therapeutic application of peptides and proteins is limited by several problems such as lack of stability and lack of optimal physic-chemical properties for adequate transport through various biomembranes. This book focuses on general pharmaceutical development aspects of peptides and proteins. It discusses the immunogenicity of protein pharmaceuticals and the biosimulation of pharmacokinetics and pharmacodynamics.
This text presents in-depth coverage of this rapidly expanding research area. The book combines current understanding of classical quantitative pharmacology and drug-receptor interactions with the basics of receptor structure and signal transduction mechanisms. It focuses on molecular investigation of receptor structure, quantitative functional studies of agonists and antagonists, ligand binding, and signal transduction at the cell membrane. It also explores receptor structure and signal transduction by G-proteins and tyrosine kinases as well as enhancements to the quantitative treatment of drug-receptor interactions. Several chapters contain problems and worked-out solutions.
