  1. Sorption - New Perspectives and Applications

    Sorption - New Perspectives and Applications

    Sorption processes are natural processes present in our everyday life. Scientifically, sorption is a physical and chemical process by which one substance binds to another. Understanding sorption processes (adsorption and absorption) is the basis for process optimization in environmental engineering, industrial applications, and materials science. Each of these processes has a range of applications, from cleaning up pollutants to enabling industrial chemical reactions, making them an integral part of modern science and technology. This book presents new knowledge about adsorption and absorption, explores novel high-performance sorbents for various applications, and highlights new sorption technologies that can significantly contribute to the preservation of the environment and climate.

  2. Relevant Applications of High-Performance Liquid Chromatography in Food, Environmental, Clinical and Biological Fields

    Relevant Applications of High-Performance Liquid Chromatography in Food, Environmental, Clinical and Biological Fields

    The growing demand for high-throughput separations in food, environmental, clinical, and bioanalytical research has increased the need for methods capable of efficiently analyzing complex matrices with both qualitative and quantitative precision. High-performance liquid chromatography (HPLC) is a well-established separation technique widely employed in many fields. Its versatility of chromatographic separation modes (reversed-phase, normal-phase, HILIC, ion-chromatography, multidimensional-chromatography), chromatographic column technologies (conventional HPLC columns, sub-2 µm UHPLC columns, or partially porous core-shell columns), and detection systems (ultraviolet-visible, fluorescence, amperometric), as well as its coupling with low-resolution and high-resolution mass spectrometry, makes HPLC among the best options to solve emerging analytical problems. This book provides a comprehensive overview of new advances and applications of HPLC in environmental, food, clinical, and bioanalytical fields.

  3. Design, Synthesis, and Properties of Redox-Active Bisquinodimethanes
    1. Takashi , Harimoto

    Design, Synthesis, and Properties of Redox-Active Bisquinodimethanes

    This book focuses on the construction of redox systems composed of doubly fused para-quinodimethane (p-QD) units and on the elucidation of the unique redox behavior. p-QD is a class of non-aromatic ¿-conjugated compounds that is well-known to be interconvertible scaffolds in many response systems due to its contribution of resonance structure with a planar aromatic sextet ring. This book describes studies on a strategy for precisely controlling the frontier orbital levels of p-QD-based redox systems and a nature of cationic states of ¿-electron systems with doubly fused p-QD units. The author revealed that multi-redox unimolecular systems with cross-linking of the two sterically strained p-QD units exhibit unique hysteretic character or have a domino effect upon electron transfer, which cannot be achieved in a monomeric p-QD-based system. Thus, these studies are milestones in creating functional redox systems unprecedented dynamic redox (dyrex) behaviors. A study on cationic states of ¿-electron systems with doubly fused p-QD units and their intrinsic redox properties will lead to the development of unprecedented dyrex systems, the frontier orbital levels of which can be precisely controlled by input of external stimuli such as electric potential and heat. This book benefits chemists with a deeper understanding of the redox-active molecules.

  5. Functional and structural studies of an atypical fungal endoglucanase
    1. Marina , Paglione Ramia

    Functional and structural studies of an atypical fungal endoglucanase

    The importance of studying cellulases is not limited to the acquisition of scientific knowledge, but also to the great biotechnological potential they represent. This is due to the fact that cellulose is the most abundant molecule present in nature and provides a wide range of sustainable products and processes. Many cellulase families have already been well characterized, while others remain unknown. Among the latter, family 45 of glycoside hydrolases is the least characterized family of fungal cellulases, both structurally and functionally. In this book we report the crystallographic structure of the endoglucanase V enzyme from a microorganism called Phanerochaete chrysosporium (PcCel45A). We also report the structure of this enzyme with a ligand (cellobiose). In order to study its function, we carried out studies on the enzyme's catalytic site, using site-directed mutagenesis in the main residues of the active site. This enzyme showed a structure and mechanism of action that was totally different from the other enzymes in the family.

  6. Metal-Responsive Base Pair Switching of Ligand-type Uracil Nucleobases
    1. Keita , Mori

    Metal-Responsive Base Pair Switching of Ligand-type Uracil Nucleobases

    In this thesis, the author proposes "metal-responsive base pair switching" of ligand-modified nucleobases as a novel tool for stimuli-responsive control of DNA assemblies. It is written to demonstrate broad applicability of the base pair switching in dynamic DNA nanotechnology and inspire researchers to use this technique. Based on specific interactions between ligand-type nucleobases and target metal ions, in this volume, DNA hybridization was dynamically controlled through strand displacement reactions. The base pair switching was further applied to develop metal-dependent DNA molecular machines. This novel strategy for stimuli-responsive regulation of DNA assemblies will greatly expand the scope of dynamic DNA nanotechnology. This volume uniquely features importance of elaborate molecular design based on chemistry for imparting stimuli responsiveness to DNA assemblies.

  8. Drug Design
    1. Gerhard , Klebe

    Drug Design

    This English-language textbook, based on the successful German edition 'Wirkstoffdesign', brings the subject of drug design back to the cutting edge of research. The reader learns about new methods in genetic engineering and the expanded range of structural biological methods. Especially in the last 10 years, many complex target structures such as G-protein coupled receptors or ion channels have been elucidated by using these methods. The reader learns how these long-sought complex structures with classical drugs look like and how the therapeutic effect is achieved. This textbook is aimed at students of pharmacy, chemistry and the life sciences, but also at career changers and medicinal chemists in research and development departments of the pharmaceutical industry. Conceptually, it is very different from classical textbooks on pharmaceutical chemistry. It focuses on the path to a new drug substance. The selection of case studies is based on didactic aspects and attempts to give a broad overview of methods and strategies without forgetting to look back at the beginnings of this field of work. Thus, the arc spans from the history of drug research, the mechanisms of action of drugs and the methods for lead structure search and optimisation to structure determination methods, modelling, molecular dynamics and QSAR methods to structure- and computer-aided design.
