By addressing both drug efficiency and drug safety, this modern practical reference shows how each aspect shapes the key decisions for assessing the risk/benefit ratio of any novel compound during the early drug development stages, using both in vitro and in silico methods.

Current methods for the separation and purification of RNA are explained, addressing both fundamental principles and practical aspects. The complete know-how to develop and optimise laboratory protocols for the handling of every RNA species, from the very small to the very large.

The gold standard for industrial research now completely revised in line with current trends in the field, with all contributions extensively updated or rewritten. In 21 chapters readers can benefit from the key working knowledge of today's leading pharmaceutical companies, including Pfizer, AstraZeneca, and Roche.

This second edition of the pioneering book in the field is completely revised and extended, now stretching to two volumes. A comprehensive summary providing key knowledge, linking the fields of molecular self-assembly with materials- and biosciences.

The introduction of the euro in 1999 marked the starting point of the development of a very liquid and heterogeneous EUR credit market, which exceeds EUR 350bn with respect to outstanding corporate bonds. As a result, credit risk trading and credit portfolio management gained significantly in importance.

Clearly structured in five major sections on applications, this text bridges materials science, industrial chemistry, physics, and engineering -- making it a must-have for researchers in industry and academia, as well as those working in application-oriented plasma technology.

Providing vital knowledge for the pharmaceutical industry and process chemists, this ready reference presents successful strategies for the hottest drug candidates, showing how to manufacture valuable products in an economical, sustainable and robust way.

The first authoritative overview of past and current strategies for successful drug development by analog generation, this unique resource spans all important drug classes and all major therapeutic fields, including histamine antagonists, ACE inhibitors, beta blockers, opioids, quinolone antibiotics, steroids and anticancer platinum compounds.

While most textbooks on bioinformatics focus on genetic algorithms and treat protein structure prediction only superficially, this course book assumes a novel and unique focus. Adopting a didactic approach, the author explains all the current methods in terms of their reliability, limitations and user-friendliness.

Nanotechnology is the key technology of the 21st century. The possibility to exploit the structures and processes of biomolecules for novel functional materials, biosensors, bioelectronics and medical applications has created the rapidly growing field of nanobiotechnology. This book deals with this field.

This text outlines the principles and practices of heterogeneous catalysis. It also features graphics, examples, problems and references in order to guide the reader from the laboratory-oriented model study through to the operating plant.

Based on a two-semester graduate course, this book provides a concise introduction to quantum optics. Modern in style and didactically skillful, it prepares students for their own research.

Iron Oxides play an important role in numerous disciplines. Since the publication of the first edition, there has been a surge of interest in synthetic fine to ultrafine iron oxides in a wide range of scientific and technological disciplines, especially in mineralogy, geosciences and environmental science and in various branches of technology.

Written by a global team of top managers and senior McKinsey experts, this expanded and completely revised edition constitutes a wide-ranging manual on the subject, drawing on extensive first-hand experience, several hundred consulting engagements, and in-depth research projects.

Electron spin resonance spectroscopy is the method used to determine the structure and life expectancy of a number of radicals. Written by the experts in the field of electron spin resonance spectroscopy, this book offers a comprehensible introduction to the modern world of electron spin resonance (ESR).

The pedagogy, layout and presentation of this book duplicate K.C. Nicolaou's "Classics in Total Synthesis". Aiming to act as a complementary volume, it is supported by Nicolaou, who wrote the introduction.

Photoemission is one of the principal techniques for the characterization and investigation of condensed matter systems. The field has experienced many developments in recent years, which may also be put down to important achievements in closely related areas.

Concepts and procedures for the generation and application of aptamers (target-binding oligonucleotides) and aptazymes (catalytically active oligonucleotides) are presented in this first comprehensive guide to this emerging field.

Carbon nanotubes are exceptionally interesting from a fundamental research point of view. Many concepts of one-dimensional physics have been verified experimentally such as electron and phonon confinement or the one-dimensional singularities in the density of states; other 1D signatures are still under debate, such as Luttinger-liquid behavior.

"Oxygen" is a play about priorities and competition in science and the resulting consequences. The play deals with the discovery of oxygen as well as revolutions - both chemical and political. And "Oxygen" concerns the Nobel Prize. Half of this play with 11 characters takes place in 1777, the other half in 2001.

Nylon, plexiglas, epoxy resin, and Elmer's glue; dynamite, rubber tires, and spandex. These are a few among the multitude of industrial products produced using the principles of organic chemistry, principles that are often taught to students without reference to the commercial and practical importance of the subject.

Since it is one of the core disciplines, every student of organic chemistry will need to cover organic synthesis at some point. This book, suitable for advanced undergraduate and graduate students, contains chapters on combinatoric chemistry, non-covalent molecular assemblies and the use of the Internet for searching chemical compounds.

With contributions by Paul F. Fewster and Christoph Genzel While X-ray diffraction investigation of powders and polycrystalline matter was at the forefront of materials science in the 1960s and 70s, high-tech applications at the beginning of the 21st century are driven by the materials science of thin films.

Based on twelve years of teaching a graduate course, this textbook presents Diels-Alder reactions, electrocyclic reactions, sigmatropic rearrangements as well as more topics. It focuses on the important facts and aspects.

Surfactants are surface active agents, molecules that fulfill influential roles in emulsions, suspensions, and most well known, foams. They find widespread application in personal care, cosmetics, pharmaceuticals, agrochemicals and the food industry due to their use at air/liquid, liquid/liquid and solid/liquid interfaces.

This monograph provides a comprehensive survey of the parameters involved in textile washing, in particular the action of detergents. The authors describe the physical and chemical principles of the washing process, as well as the composition, production and action of household and industrial detergents.
