John Wiley & Sons, Inc., 2008. - 737 pages. Current Protocols Essential Laboratory Techniques (CPET) is a fundamentally new type of laboratory manual. This manual thus serves as a companion for more advanced technical manuals, such as the other titles in the Current Protocols series, and is a basic standard reference for any molecular laboratory. As this manual covers technical skills taught in many undergraduate molecular and cell biology cl...

CMLS Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences, 2005 Abstract. Phosphodiesterases (PDEs) are essential regulators of cyclic nucleotide signaling with diverse physiological functions. Because of their great market potential and therapeutic importance, PDE inhibitors became recognized as important therapeutic agents in the treatment of various diseases. Currently, there are seven PDE inhibitors on the market, and the pharmacological and safety evaluati...

InTech. 2011. 318 p. DNA replication, the process of copying one double stranded DNA molecule to produce two identical copies, is at the heart of cell proliferation. This book highlights new insights into the replication process in eukaryotes, from the assembly of pre-replication complex and features of DNA replication origins, through polymerization mechanisms, to propagation of epigenetic states. It also covers cell cycle control of replicatio...

Cambridge University Press, 2005, Pages: 305 This monograph describes the theoretical bases and experimental prerequisites for methods such as spin fluorescence, triplet, M?ssbauer, photochromic and electron-density labeling, including the procedures used to obtain specifically modified proteins, enzymes, biomembranes, nucleic acids, and other biological molecules. The fundamentals of the physical theory behind each technique is explained and d...

Wilеy-VСH Verlag, Weinheim,, 2007, 304 pages Knowledge of the atomic structure of biomacromolecules such as proteins, nucleic acids and carbohydrates is indispensable for an understanding their biological function. The sequencing of whole genomes from bacteria to man has provided the possibility to clone and express their gene products, which in most cases are proteins. The new field of Structural Genomics, or its synonym Structural Proteomics,...

InTech. 2011. 708 p.v The study of DNA advanced human knowledge in a way comparable to the major theories in physics, surpassed only by discoveries such as fire or the number zero. However, it also created conceptual shortcuts, beliefs and misunderstandings that obscure the natural phenomena, hindering its better understanding. The deep conviction that no human knowledge is perfect, but only perfectible, should function as a fair safeguard again...

Humana Press. 2011. 203 p. New and rapid advances in technology have equipped us with a variety of tools and platforms to ask fundamental questions of telomere regulation and have allowed investigators to carry out experiments using diverse model systems. For example, proteomic, genomic, and molecular approaches have afforded us unprecedented insight into the complex protein interaction networks at work on the telomere chromatin and the detailed...

The Handbook is intended to be a service to the neuroscience community, to help in finding available and useful information, to point out gaps in our knowledge, and to encourage continued studies. It represents the valuable contributions of the many authors of the chapters and the guidance of the editors and most important, it represents support for research in this discipline.
