Principles and Practice of Bioanalysis Edited by

Signaling Mechanisms of Oxygen and Nitrogen Free Radicals

Richard F. Venn

Igor B. Afanas’ev

Second Edition Pfizer Central Research, Kent, UK

All-Union Vitamin Research Institute, Moscow, Russia

This book provides an updated guide to the techniques currently used in developing and running ultra-trace analyses for drugs, metabolites, and other substances. Extensively revised, this volume reflects the dynamic growth in methodologies that has occurred over the past five years. Experts offer a logical path through the problems of small molecule bioanalysis, enabling researchers to choose the appropriate methods of analysis across a number of fields, including the agrochemical and pharmaceutical industries. Scientists and graduate students in biology, biochemistry, and chemistry will also find this to be a valuable reference.

This volume explores major questions regarding signaling mechanisms of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) in enzymatic processes. The text covers free radical signaling processes catalyzed by enzymes and examines those producers of superoxide and nitric oxide that are able to use produced ROS/RNS as signaling species to initiate the processes. It also considers ROS/RNS signaling produced or insufficiently produced by mitochondrial enzymes, which leads to key findings about mitochondrial disorders and subsequent apoptosis, as well as the development of potential new treatments.

Tunneling, a quantum mechanical phenomenon, has been the focus of research for nearly a century. Because of growing experimental sophistication and the probing of systems with sizes between single molecules and bulk materials, the need to understand the subtle influences of dynamical tunneling is becoming more critical. This text includes contributions from both the molecular and atomic physics communities to provide a comprehensive review of both theoretical and experimental advances in the field. From kicked atoms to Bose-Einstein condensates in optical lattices, this book discusses a wide range of systems and topics, including resonance and chaos-assisted tunneling.

Answering the need to facilitate quantum-chemical calculations of systems with thousands of atoms, Kazuo Kitaura and coworkers developed the Fragment Molecular Orbital (FMO) method in 1999. Today, it can be applied to the study of whole proteins and protein–ligand interactions, and is very effective in calculating the properties of biological systems and molecular clusters. Written by the inventors of the process, this handbook makes FMO accessible to general scientists and demonstrates applications to biochemical studies that emphasize actual simulations. The book includes a CD-ROM with software for performing calculations.

Many properties of materials and devices are being produced or controlled by processes at the nanoscopic scale. Therefore, multiscale modeling is necessary for the design of novel materials and devices. In this book, international researchers who are active in multiscale modeling describe approaches, applications, design, and results of different techniques across scales. The text emphasizes models that explicitly include the atomic scale, rather than including this scale via empirical parameters. Predictive and design capabilities of models are also explored, and the book includes applications involving electron and mass transport.

Applying quantitative structure-activity relationship (QSAR) techniques at a state-of-the-art level, this book describes how to transform ligand structureactivity relationships into models that predict the potency or activity/inactivity of new molecules. This edition contains a new chapter on methods that identify the 3D conformations to use for 3D QSAR and offers additional discussions on statistical topics, such as partial least squares and kNN potency prediction. Along with re-analyzing old data using newer methods, the expanded case studies explore molecular design based on 3D modeling and include comparisons of ligand- and structure-based models of biological potency.

The emerging use of the computational design approach as a means of engineering proteins with novel functions has led to widespread usage of computational analysis in protein engineering at large. However, because the structure and function of protein molecules are coupled at the molecular level, many critical questions are left unanswered and many of the intricate design rules unclear. This book furthers understanding in this design area by providing a lucid description of computation’s role in protein engineering and tracing the history of protein design. In so doing, it successfully de-mystifies computational analysis, making it widely accessible to a broad audience both in academia and industry.

Even though time-dependent spectroscopic techniques continue to push the frontier of chemical physics, they receive scant mention in most references. This text bridges the knowledge gap between quantum chemistry and the modern field of chemical dynamics. It provides needed background in quantum mechanics and then discusses theory and a number of applications that are of current interest, from molecular electronics to photosynthesis. Written in a pedagogic style, it details needed computational components and sample calculations using Mathematica®.

Gleaning valuable information from recent research in this area, Stochastic Simulations of Clusters presents advanced quantum simulation techniques for condensed matter. The book develops finite temperature statistical simulation tools and real-time algorithms for the exact solution of the Schrödinger equation. It draws on potential energy models to gain insight into the behavior of minima and transition states. Using Monte Carlo methods as well as ground state variational and diffusion Monte Carlo simulations, the author explains how to obtain temperature and quantum effects. He also shows how the path integral approach enables the study of quantum effects at finite temperatures.

This book introduces a new graphs-based language called Formal Graphs for representing the mathematical equations found in a large number of scientific domains, including mechanics, physicochemistry, dynamics, solid state physics, rheology, surface energy, electrochemistry, and chemical reactivity. This elementary approach consists of drawing links and nodes on a graph, instead of writing algebraic equations. The graphs encourage a visual, unified comprehension of the relationships between physical concepts and variables, properties, and operators.

Understanding the biochemistry of food is basic to all other research and development in the fields of food science, technology, and nutrition, and the past decade has seen accelerated progress in these areas. This volume provides a unified exploration of foods from a biochemical perspective. Featuring illustrations to elucidate molecular concepts throughout the text, it examines a range of issues on the food spectrum, including water and its relation to food, the glycobiology of food components, enzymes, hormones, functional foods and supplements, flavor compounds, organic acids, environmental issues, oxidation, food safety, and the genetic makeup of individual food components.

Deterioration due to chemical changes and alterations or physical instability are not always recognized, yet can be as problematic as microbial spoilage. This book provides a review of key topics in this area. It starts by considering chemical reactions that can negatively affect food quality, such as oxidative rancidity, and their measurement. It then reviews deterioration associated with physical changes, such as moisture loss, crystallization, and emulsion breakdown. From there, it examines likely effects on different foods and beverages, including bakery products, fruits and vegetables, ready-to-eat meals and wine.

Hogeschool Zuyd, Heerlen, The Netherlands

Chemical thermodynamics is at a juncture, as today much of chemical science is assisted by digital computation weighted toward both industry and information, but current studies of thermodynamics do not reflect this. This book details how thermodynamic transformations are grounded on the insights derived from an intimate knowledge of modern information theory. Going beyond classical thermodynamics and information theory, the text explores the fusion of molecular information and electronic structure theory, non-equilibrium and finite time thermodynamics, quantum computation, and applications of information theory to bioinformatics, proteomics, and genomics.

Following in the tradition of its predecessors, this third edition offers a practical, example-based exploration of a critical topic, maintaining academic rigor but avoiding complicated calculations. It discusses current energy consumption and the role of renewable energy in the future, examines exothermic reactions, uses Mathcad® to calculate a plot of Gibbs energy, explains the Lambda sensor, and employs FactSage software to calculate and describe the production of silicon in an arc (oven) furnace. This latest edition contains re-worked problems and adds several new ones to further amplify complex areas.

Lahiri Avijit

This volume presents scientists with the tools to control crystal nucleation, enabling them to ultimately control crystal size and size distribution. Introducing the Balanced Nucleation and Growth (BNG) model, the book demonstrates how the results of the nucleation process are quantitatively related to numerous practical experimental control values. Going above and beyond classical nucleation theories which rely to a large extent on guesswork, the BNG model gives precise guidance to scientists working in a range of critical areas.

This revised edition presents the classical theory as the launching pad by introducing a number of key concepts so as to make the subject accessible to a wider group of readers. In addition, the technical soundness of presentation has been raised to a higher level by using the concepts of the mixed state and the reduced state as the basic building blocks of the theory as well as relating equilibrium statistical mechanics to the long-term time evolution of the reduced state. The author avoids technically rigorous, formal analysis in favor of a clear understanding at a semi-intuitive level.
