Download or read book Concepts of Biology written by Samantha Fowler and published by . This book was released on 2018-01-07 with total page 618 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Concepts of Biology is designed for the single-semester introduction to biology course for non-science majors, which for many students is their only college-level science course. As such, this course represents an important opportunity for students to develop the necessary knowledge, tools, and skills to make informed decisions as they continue with their lives. Rather than being mired down with facts and vocabulary, the typical non-science major student needs information presented in a way that is easy to read and understand. Even more importantly, the content should be meaningful. Students do much better when they understand why biology is relevant to their everyday lives. For these reasons, Concepts of Biology is grounded on an evolutionary basis and includes exciting features that highlight careers in the biological sciences and everyday applications of the concepts at hand.We also strive to show the interconnectedness of topics within this extremely broad discipline. In order to meet the needs of today's instructors and students, we maintain the overall organization and coverage found in most syllabi for this course. A strength of Concepts of Biology is that instructors can customize the book, adapting it to the approach that works best in their classroom. Concepts of Biology also includes an innovative art program that incorporates critical thinking and clicker questions to help students understand--and apply--key concepts.

Download or read book Synthesis of Organic Compounds to Model Biological Systems written by Delmis Hernandez and published by . This book was released on 2016 with total page 75 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Biological systems are composed of large mcro-molecules that are responsible for the regulatory functions in the cell. These systems are important in order to learn about how the cell works and how it repairs itself. Additionally, these macromolecules are often used in industrial applications. Some of the research done on biological systems uses small molecules to study these macro-molecules. Small organic molecules can be synthesized and used to mimic the biological system of interest to learn about its stability, or its mechanistic pathway as well as other important aspects. Surface salt bridge interactions are non-covalent interactions that are formed between two oppositely charged residues. The strength of surface salt bridges are still contentious regarding their contributions to the stability of a protein. During the course of this project, we sought to synthesize a biphenyl derivative, which mimics a solvent exposed salt bridge interaction, to measure the strength of this type of interaction present in protein. 2-Bromoxylene-m-xylene was converted to a diacid, then to a diester, then to a monoacid. 3-Hydroxypropionitrile was oxidized and then the addition of a protecting group was added to the alcohol. Once the final target molecule is isolated, the strength of the surface salt bridge interaction will be measured using NMR. Another project where a small molecule approach may be helpful is in phosphorodithioates. Phosphorodithioates are modified oligonucleotides that are used to study phosphodiester cleavage. Phosphodiester cleavage happens relatively slowly, but can be catalyzed by a divalent metal ion. The mechanism for phosphodiester cleavage, and in particular the mechanism of metal-ion catalysis, is still the subject of much investigation. In this project, we sought to synthesize 5'Uridine 3' Guanidine phosphorodithioate dinucleotide, (UPS2G), in order to use this molecule for kinetic studies and determine the role of metal ions in phosphodiester cleavage. The compound that has been successfully synthesized thus far is the phosphorothioamidite intermediate, with a 75.22% crude yield. An automated solid synthesizer, which would usually be used for such a synthesis was not available and thus a modified strategy was developed using a centrifuge tube. Once the phosphorodithioate dinucleotide has been synthesized, the Cassano lab will use this molecule to study whether phosphodiester cleavage occurs at the same rate as the -oxo analogue.

Download or read book Microbial Biochemistry written by G. N. Cohen and published by Springer. This book was released on 2014-07-21 with total page 618 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Microbial physiology, biochemistry and genetics allowed the formulation of concepts that turned out to be important in the study of higher organisms. In the first section, the principles of bacterial growth are given, as well as the description of the different layers that enclose the bacterial cytoplasm, and their role in obtaining nutrients from the outside media through different permeability mechanism described in detail. A chapter is devoted to allostery and is indispensable for the comprehension of many regulatory mechanisms described throughout the book. Another section analyses the mechanisms by which cells obtain the energy necessary for their growth, glycolysis, the pentose phosphate pathway, the tricarboxylic and the anaplerotic cycles. Two chapters are devoted to classes of microorganisms rarely dealt with in textbooks, namely the Archaea, mainly the methanogenic bacteria, and the methylotrophs. Eight chapters describe the principles of the regulations at the transcriptional level, with the necessary knowledge of the machineries of transcription and translation. The next fifteen chapters deal with the biosynthesis of the cell building blocks, amino acids, purine and pyrimidine nucleotides and deoxynucleotides, water-soluble vitamins and coenzymes, isoprene and tetrapyrrole derivatives and vitamin B12. The two last chapters are devoted to the study of protein-DNA interactions and to the evolution of biosynthetic pathways. The considerable advances made in the last thirty years in the field by the introduction of gene cloning and sequencing and by the exponential development of physical methods such as X-ray crystallography or nuclear magnetic resonance have helped presenting metabolism under a multidisciplinary attractive angle.
Download or read book Design and Synthesis of Organic Molecules as Antineoplastic Agents written by Carla Boga and published by MDPI. This book was released on 2020-12-28 with total page 210 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book is a collection of Special Issue articles with a multidisciplinary character, linking biology, medicine, and synthetic organic chemistry. The synthesis and full characterization of about 180 novel organic species, both of natural and synthetic origin, often designed with the support of in-silico studies, are set out in the book. In several articles, molecular hybridization approaches have been used as a successful multi-target strategy for the design and development of novel antitumor agents. Rigorous and careful biochemical studies ranging from in-vitro experiments on a plethora of human-cancer derived cell lines to in-vivo and ex-vivo studies allowed the authors to identify the molecular targets and gain useful information on structure–activity relationships (SAR). For this reason, this collection should interest many readers from different scientific fields.
