The Mycota: a Comprehensive Treatise on Fungi as Experimental Systems for Basic and Applied Research: Biochemistry and Molecular Biology Vol 3

Product Description

In response to low iron availability in the environment most microorganisms synthesize iron chelators, called siderophores. Bacteria and fungi produce a broad range of structurally diverse siderophores, which all show a very high affinity for ferric ions.

“Microbial Siderophores” presents an up-to-date overview of the chemistry, biology and biotechnology of these iron chelators. Following an introduction to the structure, functions and regulation of fungal siderophores, several chapters focus on siderophores of pseudomonads. Here, the technique of siderotyping, which has proved to be a rapid, accurate and inexpensive tool for pseudomonad characterization and identification, is described. Further, the biological significance of siderophores of symbiotic fungi and the possible role of siderophores in pathogenesis are discussed. In addition to methodological approaches, chapters on the biotechnological production of siderophores and their application in promoting human and plant health are included.

Microbial Siderophores

Product Description
Each volume provides the reader, whether engaged in chemistry, biochemistry, biology or molecular medicine, with a comprehensive summary and critical overview of a topic of great current interest written by leading international experts.

Metallopharmaceuticals I: DNA Interactions

Product Description
On the cover, the mosquito (center) of the genus Anopheles is the vector of the malaria parasite. The four molecular models show how the anitimalarial drug atovaquone loses potency against emerging resistant strains as binding of atovaquone (green) to its cytochrome bc1 target is modified by resistance-conferring point mutations in cytochrome b. For details, see the article by Kessl et al., pages 17142-17148.

The Journal of Biological Chemistry

Product Description
Covering all aspects of this field, this volume also critically discusses recent results obtained with the use of nitroxides, while providing an analysis of future developments.

Written by a group of scientists with long-term experience in investigating the chemistry, physicochemistry, biochemistry and biophysics of nitroxides, the book is not intended as an exhaustive survey of each topic, but rather a discussion of their theoretical and experimental background, as well as recent advances.

The first four chapters expound the general theoretical and experimental background and the advantages of modern ESR technique. Chapter 5 focuses on fundamentals and recent results in the preparation and basic chemical properties, while the next two chapters briefly outline principles and current results in nitroxides as spin probes, and as redox probes and spin traps. These chapters form the basis for the subsequent more detailed studies of nitroxides in physicochemistry, while the final chapters concentrate on the advantages of magnetic materials on the basis of nitroxides. Finally, the concluding chapter considers the rapidly developing field of biomedical, therapeutic and clinical applications.

With more than 1,100 references to essential literature, this volume provides fundamental knowledge of instrumentation, data interpretation, capacity and recent advantages of nitroxide applications, allowing readers to understand how nitroxides can help them in solving their own problems.
