Molecular recognition in pharmacology
Traces the behavior of the drug substance, starting from the initial pre-contact stage, and ending with the formation of the complex. Molecular recognition lies in the foundation of every life form and includes many mysteries. Currently, studies on this topic in pharmacology are limited to determining the properties of complexes of medicinal substances (drugs) with specific (complementary) biomolecules: receptors, enzymes, ion channels etc. The results present the mechanisms preventing drugs from such non-specific binding. This direction is very fruitful, although the phenomenon of molecular recognition is far wider.
Molecular bio-sensors and the role of metal ions
Represents a milestone of contemporary progress and understanding of molecular bio-sensors for metal ions. It is bringing together the latest research in academia and industry, and it also emphasizes the spectrum of evolving regulations from regulatory bodies. This vibrant research area is covered by 31 internationally recognized experts. The impact of MILS-23 is manifested by more than 1300 references and close to 200 figures, more than 100 of them in color; further information is summarized in several tables. In conclusion, Volume 23 significantly advances our understanding of Molecular Bio-Sensors, it is therefore an essential resource for scientists working in the wide range from earth sciences, material sciences, physics, pharmacology, enzymology, analytical, organic, and inorganic biochemistry all the way through to medicine including the clinic.
Microlithography/Molecular Imprinting
The series presents critical reviews of the present and future trends in polymer and biopolymer science including chemistry, physical chemistry, physics and material science. It is addressed to all scientists at universities and in industry who wish to keep abreast of advances in the topics covered.Molecular recognition is central to how biological systems work. The molecular imprinting technique is a valuable polymerisation method for preparing synthetic materials able to mimic the molecular recognition phenomena present in living systems. A molecule that acts as a template is associated with functional monomers to form a complex by means of covalent linkages or noncovalent interactions. A polymerisation-crosslinking reaction is then performed around this complex. Upon removal of the template species, functionalised cavities, that have memorized the special features and bonding preferences of the template, are left inside the polymer network.
Heterocyclic Supramolecules I
Contributing to this book of six chapters were 14 scientists working in the field of supramolecular chemistry, with a special focus on molecular recognition, functional materials, and nanocarbon science. … Overall, this book is an informative summary on the progress that researchers have made over the past decade toward generating useful functional materials from heterocyclic supramolecules. This is an advanced text that should be most useful to those with an established background in supramolecular sciences and engineering.
Functional Molecular Nanostructures
in This book some recent advances in the structural design of nanoscale assemblies are shown, along with examples from the following areas: supramolecular catalysis, photoactive assemblies, molecular recognition and switches, and electroactive assemblies.The last decade has witnessed an unprecedented pursuit of discrete, nanoscale supramolecular aggregates, built by modern methods of self-assembly strategies. Several efficient new synthetic methods have been developed for engineering spectacular multicomponentsupramolecular aggregates.
Analytical scientists in pharmaceutical product development : Task management and practical knowledge
Explains task management concepts and outlines practical knowledge to help pharmaceutical analytical scientists become productive and enhance their career. •Presents broad topics such as product development process, regulatory requirement, task and project management, innovation mindset, molecular recognition, separation science, degradation chemistry, and statistics. •Provokes thinking through figures, tables, and case studies to help understand how the various functions integrate and how analytical development can work efficiently and effectively by applying science and creativity in their work. •Discusses how to efficiently develop a fit-for-purpose HPLC method without screening dozens of columns, gradients, or mobile phase combinations each time, since the extra effort may not provide enough of a benefit to justify the cost and time in a fast-paced product development environment.
