Download or read book Multi copper Oxidases written by Albrecht Messerschmidt and published by World Scientific. This book was released on 1997 with total page 477 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The biological activation of dioxygen is a key reaction in biological systems. Enzymes involved in direct oxygen activation are oxidases and oxygenases. Multi-copper oxidases are an important class of oxidases reducing dioxygen in a four-electron reduction to water with concomitant one-electron oxidation of the reducing substrate. The progress in the characterization and understanding of the structure and function of these enzymes has advanced so tremendously over the last ten years that the publication of a book documenting these achievements has been overdue.Especially the recent discovery of a key role of the FET3 protein of Saccharomyces cerevisae, a multi-copper oxidase, in iron metabolism of this eukaryote has underpinned the function of the plasma multi-copper oxidase ceruloplasmin in vetebrate iron transport. The lately determined x-ray structure of human ceruloplasmin confirms its close structural relatedness to the plant multi-copper oxidases ascorbate oxidase and laccase and due to strong amino-acid sequence similarities has allowed to construct a useful model of the more distantly related blood-clotting factor VIII.This book contains review articles from experts in the field, dealing with modern spectroscopy, enzyme kinetics, bioinorganic chemistry, x-ray crystallography, electron transfer reactions, molecular biology, medical aspects and potential industrial applications of the three main members of multi-copper oxidases, i.e., laccase, ascorbate oxidase and ceruloplasmin.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This book gathers a collection of essays that describe recent innovations in food technology including food processing, packaging, food safety, and novel ingredients. By 2050, the world will face the challenge of having to feed an estimated 9 billion people. In order to meet that challenge, innovations in food research are of the utmost importance. The book is divided into four sections, each of which explores an important aspect like food processing, food microbiology, and nutritional security. Written by respected scholars in the field, the respective chapters discuss a range of new and enhanced food materials, as well as processing innovations to extend shelf life and reduce toxic effects. The book also addresses the health potential of various nutraceuticals, bio-absorption of metals and their positive impacts on living systems, as well as methods for reducing food wastage, preventing the loss of nutritive value, and preserving or enhancing palatability. Given its scope, the book will be highly interesting for food scientists, both in academia and the food industry. It will also benefit advanced graduate students and senior researchers.

Download or read book Inorganic Electronic Structure and Spectroscopy Applications and Case Studies written by Edward I. Solomon and published by Wiley-Interscience. This book was released on 1999-06-23 with total page 682 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Spectroscopy is an analytical method used to detect and identify samples, and analyze the electronic structure and behavior of a compound. Electronic structure is the bonding of inorganic compounds that give rise to a compounds' physical properties and reactivity. The two volume set covers current development in inorganic electronic spectroscopy. Because the field is inextricably linked to the more general area of electronic structure, the volumes will cover both inorganic spectroscopy and electronic structure. This second volume includes a series of case studies demonstrating how various methods and procedures in Volume 1 can be applied to important and topical areas of inorganic spectroscopy and electronic structure
