Download or read book Deuterium Oxide and Deuteration in Biosciences written by Chang-Hwei Chen and published by Springer Nature. This book was released on 2022-08-21 with total page 180 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This new book provides comprehensive coverage of the subjects of deuterium oxide and deuteration in biosciences, with an emphasis on the biochemical, biomedical, and pharmacological aspects. Deuterium oxide and deuteration effects also offer various implications for health-related issues, including diseases, vaccines and drugs. Organized in six sections, the chapter topics include the role of regular and heavy water in biosciences, and their implications to biomolecules, biochemical processes, health-related research, and pharmacology. Due to the broad scope, the book may be used as a supplemental text for upper-level undergraduate and graduate courses in the related fields of biochemistry, biology, biomedical sciences, biophysics, and pharmacology. Researchers and pharmaceutical industry professionals will also find the content useful in order to gain knowledge and better understand the implications of deuterium oxide and deuteration research.
Download or read book Heavy Water and the Wartime Race for Nuclear Energy written by Per F Dahl and published by CRC Press. This book was released on 2023-05-31 with total page 420 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Heavy water (deuterium oxide) played a sinister role in the race for nuclear energy during the World War II. It was a key factor in Germany's bid to harness atomic energy primarily as a source of electric power; its acute shortage was a factor in Japan's decision not to pursue seriously nuclear weaponry; its very existence was a nagging thorn in the side of the Allied powers. Books and films have dwelt on the Allies' efforts to deny the Germans heavy water by military means; however, a history of heavy water has yet to be written. Filling this gap, Heavy Water and the Wartime Race for Nuclear Energy concentrates on the circumstances whereby Norway became the preeminent producer of heavy water and on the scientific role the rare isotope of hydrogen played in the wartime efforts by the Axis and Allied powers alike. Instead of a purely technical treatise on heavy water, the book describes the social history of the subject. The book covers the discovery and early uses of deuterium before World War II and its large-scale production by Norsk Hydro in Norway, especially under German control. It also discusses the French-German race for the Norwegian heavy-water stocks in 1940 and heavy water's importance for the subsequent German uranium project, including the Allied sabotage and bombing of the Norwegian plants, as well as its lesser role in Allied projects, especially in the United States and Canada. The book concludes with an overall assessment of the importance and the perceived importance of heavy water for the German program, which alone staked everything on heavy water in its quest for a nuclear chain reaction.

Book excerpt: "This monograph comprises three chapters, each concerning a different aspect of deuterium. Chapter One discusses in detail the factors governing whether deuteration strategies will give rise to a deuterium KIE (kinetic isotope effect), which has many beneficial effects including increased drug resistance to metabolism, which is particularly important in radiopharmaceutical sciences. Chapter Two describes the properties of Deuterium Oxide (D2O), an isotopic form of water which contains two atoms of deuterium and one atom of oxygen, specifically its characteristic shielding action against external stress agents. Chapter Three presents the T-c-state diagram of the Pd-D system and proposes the crystal structure of [beta] and [gamma] phases"--

Book excerpt: Deuterium: Discovery and Applications in Organic Chemistry provides a well-illustrated overview of the discovery of 2H or heavy hydrogen, the stable hydrogen isotope with both a proton and a neutron in its nucleus. The work introduces the isotope, its discovery, physical properties, nomenclature, and common compounds, also exploring its application in organic chemistry through classic and recent examples from literature. Finally, the book devotes one chapter to Deuterium in medicinal chemistry and the biological effects of Deuterium Oxide, better known as D2O. Provides unique coverage not found elsewhere that is presented in an accessible, dedicated short work Contains practical information and examples on the use of Deuterium (D or 2H, Heavy Hydrogen) in organic synthesis Presents a detailed description of Deuterium’s discovery and applications in the pharmaceutical industry
