Red Cell Membrane Transport in Health and Disease
ISBN: 9783642079207 / Angielski / Miękka / 748 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The red cell has been a focus for scientific and medical investigation since the ear liest times. A higher erythrocyte sedimentation rate was associated with diseases (usually pyrexias) before the thermometer was invented. Furthermore, ever since the early observers Swammerdam and Leeuvenhoek saw discrete corpuscles in samples of blood using the first microscopes, there has been a significant scientific interest in the structure and function of red blood cells. The later discovery that red cells were not spherical, but biconcave discs introduced a scientific puzzle which is still not...

Physics and Chemistry Basis of Biotechnology
ISBN: 9789048157419 / Angielski / Miękka / 334 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. At the end of the 20th century, a tremendous progress was made in biotechnology in its widest sense. This progress was largely possible as a result of joint efforts of top academic researchers in both pure fundamental sciences and applied research. The surplus value of such interdisciplinary approaches was clearly highlighted during the 9th European Congress on Biotechnology that was held in Brussels, Belgium (11-15 July, 1999). The present volume in the Focus on Biotechnology series, entiteld Physics and Chemistry Basis for Biotechnology contains selected presentations from this meeting, A...

Characterization and fertility evaluation of Major soilsgroups fromDRC
ISBN: 9783639297195 / Angielski / Miękka / 152 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This study sought to characterize soils from D.R. Congo and devise fertility capability classification interpretations for their agronomic use. Twenty 24 soil pedons were sampled in seven administrative provinces selected to represent the most commonly used landscape positions and to include soils from a variety of soil parent materials occuring throughout the country. Most of the soils studied have both surface and subsoil acidity problems, they have low available phosphorus and total nitrogen contents, and a low capacity to supply potassium. Half of the pedons studied have low contents of...

The Cardiac L-Type Calcium Channel
ISBN: 9783639302219 / Angielski / Miękka / 172 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. Calcium (Ca2+) permeability in excitable cells was first documented over 35 years ago, shortly after the discovery that sodium (Na+) and potassium (K+) ions moved across squid giant axon membranes in a voltage-dependent fashion. This permeability was facilitated by membrane proteins of a distinct class called ion channels. Since then, much progress has been made in understanding the role of ion channels in transduction of voltage signals into cellular responses. However, characterization of Ca2+ channels has lagged behind their better understood counterparts, the Na+ and K+...

Photosynthetic water oxidation in high plants and micro algae
ISBN: 9783639299069 / Angielski / Miękka / 164 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. This book will bring you closer towards understanding how photosynthetic oxygen evolution works in high plants and micro algae, or cyanobacteria. To the time when this work was done, information on photosynthesis was largely based on experimental results obtained from studies on high plants, mainly spinach. Yet no crystal structure of photosystem 2 was available from high plants. In 2001, Dr. Zouni and co-workers from TU-Berlin had reported a crystal structure of photosystem 2 obtained at resolution 3.8 A from a thermophilic cyanobacteria Thermosynechococcus elongatus. Thus an important...

Voltage-Sensitive Ion Channels: Biophysics of Molecular Excitability
ISBN: 9789048173846 / Angielski / Miękka / 532 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The goal of this book is to explore the complexity of a microscopic bit of matter that exists in a myriad of copies within our bodies, the voltage-sensitive ion channel. We seek to investigate the way in which these macromolecules make it possible for the long fibers of our nerve and muscle cells to conduct impulses. These integral components of cell membranes are marvels of nature's evolutionary adaptation. To understand them we must probe the boundaries of physics and chemistry. Since function is intimately related to structure, we examine the molecular structure of channels, focusing on...

Auditory Processing
ISBN: 9783838122014 / Angielski / Miękka / 144 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. The auditory system retrieves, categorizes, and processes relevant information in a complex superposition of acoustic signals. Two processing steps are of special importance and hence subject of the present book: Echo suppression and auditory-object formation. Echo suppression is dealt with by a mathematical analysis of an optimal model derived from a general framework of optimal stimulus reconstruction. We relate the ensuing model to biological and technical strategies and, as a consequence, present new possibilities for both. In the context of auditory object formation, frequency...

Cellular Signaling in Health and Disease
ISBN: 9781441931092 / Angielski / Miękka / 470 str. Termin realizacji zamówienia: ok. 5-8 dni roboczych. In today's world, three great classes of non-infectious diseases - the metabolic syndromes (such as type 2 diabetes and atherosclerosis), the cancers, and the neurodegenerative disorders - have risen to the fore. These diseases, all associated with increasing age of an individual, have proven to be remarkably complex and difficult to treat. This is because, in large measure, when the cellular signaling pathways responsible for maintaining homeostasis and health of the body become dysregulated, they generate equally stable disease states. As a result the body may respond positively to a...

The membrane associated flavoenzyme sulfide:quinone oxidoreductase (SQR) has been essential in the early stages of life on Earth, when the organisms had to survive high sulfide concentrations in the environment. Interestingly, it has been successively conserved in many species belonging to all three biological domains, and also in humans, revealing that its activity in the cells is still crucial nowadays. In particular, SQR is involved in sulfide detoxification, in sulfide-dependent respiration and photosynthesis, in heavy metal tolerance and in the regulation of sulfide homeostasis in higher...
