Download or read book Arsenic Contamination in Asia written by Hiroshi Yamauchi and published by Springer. This book was released on 2018-11-11 with total page 216 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides valuable new insights into preventive measures for chronic arsenic poisoning, exploring the various causes, metabolism and toxicity, preventive drugs, functional foods and various methods for removing arsenic from contaminated water. The mechanisms of chronic arsenic poisoning vary between countries and regions, and the pathological difference, though reported on, is still only poorly understood. As large-scale chronic arsenic poisoning is concentrated in Asia, the contributions in this book were written by pioneers from Asia. Further, the management of removed arsenic has not yet become standardized, and this volume will serve as a vital source of new ideas by highlighting significant detoxification methods aimed at the disposal of arsenic. Arsenic Contamination in Asia represents a valuable sourcebook for scientists working in the fields of environmental health, occupational health, environmental science, fisheries science, agriculture, pharmacy, analytical chemistry, and clinical medicine. Also, beginning researchers, seasoned experts, and students who are seeking comprehensive information on the natural sciences including medicine will find this work thought-provoking, instructive and informative.
Download or read book Global Arsenic Hazard written by Nabeel Khan Niazi and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-12-02 with total page 556 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book provides a plethora of information about global arsenic (As) contamination and the challenges for environment. Arsenic is a naturally occurring metalloid that is widely distributed in water, soil, air and biota from natural and anthropogenic sources. Arsenic has been found in drinking water in over 100 countries worldwide, which caused a major public health issue including: cardiovascular disorders, diabetes, and cancers of various organs - these are some of the general health effects of As exposure. Exposure of plants to As, even at very low concentrations, can cause many morphological, physiological, and biochemical changes. The recent research on As in the water-soil-plant-human systems indicates that As toxicity to plants varies with As speciation in plants, type of plant species and with other soil factors controlling As accumulation in plants. In recent years, the development of efficient green chemistry methods for detoxification of trace metal poisoning has become a major focus of researchers. It has been investigated in order to find an eco-friendly and recyclable technique for the removal of As contamination from the natural resources. Understanding the significance of As hazard and roles of sustainable or eco-friendly approaches in its mitigation, we intend to bring forth a comprehensive volume “Global Arsenic Hazard - Ecotoxicology and Remediation" highlighting the various prospects involved in current scenario. We are hopeful that this comprehensive volume will furnish the requisite of all those who are working or have interest in the proposed topic.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The application of enzymes or whole cells (fermentatively active or resting; microbial, plant, or animal) to carry out selective transformations of commercial importance is the central theme of industrial biocatalysis. Traditionally, biocatalysis has been in the domain of the life scientist or biochemical engineer. However, recent advances in this field have enabled biocatalytic processes to compete head on with, and in some cases out perform, conventional chemical processing. Chemo-biocatalytic systems are being developed thereby combining the most attractive features of bio catalysts, namely high specificity, with those of chemical catalysts, such as high reactivities and wide substrate specificities. Hence, synthetic chemists and chemical engineers are now beginning to use biocatalysts as highly selective reagents in chemical synthesis and processing. This book is about biocatalysts and their past, present, and potential applications in the food, pharmaceutical, and chemical industries. The con cept of the book did not emanate from a meeting. Rather, it is a compila tion of selected examples where biocatalysis either has already made a significant impact in the aforementioned industries, or has the potential to make a substantial contribution. I have been fortunate to have assembled contributions from world-class researchers in the field of biocatalysis. Their timely contributions are sincerely appreciated.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Catalysis and folding are two closely interwoven notions in Nature particularly among enzymes, and by extension can be applied to synthetic catalysts designed by chemists. Artificial monomers have been created for two decades to synthesize new oligomeric molecular architectures with a high propensity to fold, which are called foldamers. In many systems, folded structure is stabilized by a strong hydrogen-bonding network, in a similar way to biopolymer structures. These folded backbones may provide significant advantages as catalyst as they could offer cooperativity in ligand binding, a greater stabilization of charged intermediates and then a minimization of entropic cost of the transition state binding. They constitute a class of potential organocatalysts which deserves more investigation. Organocatalysis is an area of strong interest nowadays because of the lower toxicity of the catalysts and meta free procedures, their modularity and easiness to handle them. But generally high loading (5-20 mol%) are needed to perform chemical transformations with good yields and good stereoselectivities. The synergistic effect brought by the well-defined structures of foldamers through the strong hydrogen-bonding network can be in favour of a decrease of the catalyst loading.Oligo(thio)urea foldamers are peptides analogues, with a helical secondary structure, 2.5 residues per turn and 12- and 14-membered H-bond ring and present a macrodipole which can be reinforced through activation with electro-withdrawing group at the positive pole. Binding of anions to oligourea has been studied and was shown to be site specific and not to have any impact on the helical structure thus illustrating the high potential of coordination of negatively charged species to oligourea foldamers. Urea and thiourea small molecules have been widely used as H-bond donors for organocatalysis with very satisfying results. These concepts are the basis of the development of an innovative organocatalyst with oligo(thio)urea foldamers, acting through H-bond activation. A structure-activity relationship study combining an extended substrate scope and NMR mechanistic studies was performed allowing delineation of the principles governing oligourea foldamer-based catalysis.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: One of the most active areas of contemporary organic chemistry involves the search for new catalysts that borrow concepts, strategies and even components from enzymes but yet are not found in nature. Such artificial enzymes not only give enormous insights into the mechanisms of enzyme catalysis but also offer the potential for catalyzing a wide range of chemical reactions with no counterpart in nature. Several approaches have been taken in the deVelopment of new catalysts, some based on biological methods and others on synthetic techniques. Site directed mutagenesis has allowed the direct replacement of amino acids in an enzyme with resulting changes in stability, selectivity and mechanism. Recent developments have shown that even non-natural amino acids can be incorporated into proteins and also that enzymes can function effectively in organic solvents. A different biological route to artificial enzymes has exploited the immune system and its ability to generate millions of antibodies to a given antigen. Novel antigens have been designed to mimic the transition states of chemical reactions. Antibodies elicited against these antigens thus contain an active site that is complementary to transition state structure and can potentially catalyze target reactions. A broad range of reactions can now be 6 catalyzed using the method with rate accelerations reaching 10 compared to the control reactions. Protein engineering and catalytic antibodies represent complex solutions to the problem of artificial enzymes. Their complexity is however their principal limitation.
