Two-Dimensional NMR Spectroscopy: Applications for Chemists and Biochemists, Second Edition, Fully Updated and Expanded to Include Multidimensional Work
Two-Dimensional NMR Spectroscopy: Applications for Chemists and Biochemists, Second Edition, Fully Updated and Expanded to Include Multidimensional Work Review
Two-Dimensional NMR Spectroscopy: Applications for Chemists and Biochemists, Second Edition, Fully Updated and Expanded to Include Multidimensional Work Feature
This volume covers the new methodological advances in NMR spectroscopy that have been developed since the publication of the first edition. These include: 'indirect detection' methods, particularly proton-detected carbon-13 spectra, which have profoundly increased NMR sensitivities; 3- and even higher- dimensional NMR methods which have further increased spectral resolving and correlating power; powerful new computer programs which assist in all phases of data analysis and ultimately make possible rigorous interpretations of complex 2D and higher- dimensional NMR spectra using molecular mechanics and dynamics calculations; and field gradient technology which makes it possible to acquire 2D and higher-dimensional spectra of concentrated samples very rapidly, greatly reducing experiment times. This new edition retains the original format of the first edition with introductory chapters covering descriptions, basic theoretical treatments and experimental aspects of the methods. These are followed by applications chapters representing a broad sampling of important research areas and compound classes

The Handbook of Photonics, Second Edition
The Handbook of Photonics, Second Edition Review
The Handbook of Photonics, Second Edition Feature
Reflecting changes in the field in the ten years since the publication of the first edition, The Handbook of Photonics, Second Edition explores recent advances that have affected this technology. In this new, updated second edition editor Mool Gupta is joined by John Ballato, strengthening the handbook with their combined knowledge and the continued contributions of world-class researchers.
New in the Second Edition:
The book covers photonics materials, devices, and systems, respectively. An introductory chapter, new to this edition, provides an overview of photonics technology, innovation, and economic development. Resting firmly on the foundation set by the first edition, this new edition continues to serve as a source for introductory material and a collection of published data for research and training in this field, making it the reference of first resort.

CRC Handbook of Parvoviruses, Volume I
CRC Handbook of Parvoviruses, Volume I Review
CRC Handbook of Parvoviruses, Volume I Feature
This comprehensive two-volume review reflects the period of transition in the scientific community with respect to the interest in all genera of parvoviruses. More recently, the availability of sophisticated analytical methods have associated parvoviruses with important disearses in animals and in humans. Research interest in parvaviruses is shifting from the molecular aspects of the virus itself to its molecular biology and its infection process, and to virus control-all attributable to the increased link between these viruses and disease. These illustrated texts cover the field and include a section devoted to study techniques specific to parvoviruses.

Contemporary Enzyme Kinetics and Mechanism, 3rd Edition, Second Edition: Reliable Lab Solutions
Contemporary Enzyme Kinetics and Mechanism, 3rd Edition, Second Edition: Reliable Lab Solutions Review
Contemporary Enzyme Kinetics and Mechanism, 3rd Edition, Second Edition: Reliable Lab Solutions Feature
Kinetic studies of enzyme action provide powerful insights into the underlying mechanisms of catalysis and regulation. These approaches are equally useful in examining the action of newly discovered enzymes and therapeutic agents.
Contemporary Enzyme Kinetics and Mechanism, Second Edition presents key articles from Volumes 63, 64, 87, and 249 of Methods in Enzymology. The chapters describe the most essential and widely applied strategies. A set of exercises and problems is included to facilitate mastery of these topics.
The book will aid the reader to design, execute, and analyze kinetic experiments on enzymes. Its emphasis on enzyme inhibition will also make it attractive to pharmacologists and pharmaceutical chemists interested in rational drug design.
Of the seventeen chapters presented in this new edition, ten did not previously appear in the first edition.
Key Features
* Transient kinetic approaches to enzyme mechanisms
* Designing initial rate enzyme assay
* Deriving initial velocity and isotope exchange rate equations
* Plotting and statistical methods for analyzing rate data
* Cooperativity in enzyme function
* Reversible enzyme inhibitors as mechanistic probes
* Transition-state and multisubstrate inhibitors
* Affinity labeling to probe enzyme structure and function
* Mechanism-based enzyme inactivators
* Isotope exchange methods for elucidating enzymatic catalysis
* Kinetic isotope effects in enzyme catalysis
* Site-directed mutagenesis in studies of enzyme catalysis
