Bibliographic Level Mode of Issuance: Monograph3-319-19919-6 Part I: Proteins -- Amino Acids -- Protein Structure -- Proteins in the Lab -- Part II: Enzymes -- Enzymes are Biocatalysts -- Enzyme Kinetics and Mechanism -- Inhibition and Inactivation of Enzymes -- Hæmyoglobin and Myoglobin: Cooperativity -- Enzyme Kinetics: Special Cases -- The Flow of Metabolites through Metabolic Pathways -- Part III: Special Proteins -- Protein Folding Diseases -- Immunoproteins -- Cell Skeleton -- Motor Proteins and Movement -- Cell-cell interactions -- Aiding in Folding: Molecular Chaperones and Chaperonins -- Part IV: Membrane Transport -- Protein Transport across Membranes -- Vesicular Transport in Eukaryotic Cells -- Transport of Solutes across Membranes -- Appendices.This book serves as an introduction to protein structure and function. Starting with their makeup from simple building blocks, called amino acids, the 3-dimensional structure of proteins is explained. This leads to a discussion of how misfolding of proteins causes diseases like cancer, various encephalopathies, or diabetes. Enzymology and modern concepts of enzyme kinetics are then introduced, taking into account the physiological, pharmacological, and medical significance of this often neglected topic. This is followed by thorough coverage of hæmoglobin and myoglobin, immunoproteins, motor proteins and movement, cell-cell interactions, molecular chaperones and chaperonins, transport of proteins to various cell compartments, and solute transport across biological membranes. Proteins in the laboratory are also covered, including a detailed description of the purification and determination of proteins, as well as their characterisation for size and shape, structure, and molecular interactions. The book emphasises the link between protein structure, physiological function, and medical significance. This book can be used for graduate and advanced undergraduate classes covering protein structure and function and as an introductory text for researchers in protein biochemistry, molecular and cell biology, chemistry, biophysics, biomedicine, and related courses. About the author: Dr. Buxbaum is a biochemist with an interest in enzymology and protein science. He has been working on the biochemistry of membrane transport proteins for nearly thirty years and has taught courses in biochemistry and biomedicine at several universities.BiochemistryCytologyChemistryMedicineBiophysicsBiophysicsBiochemistry, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L14005Cell Biologyhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/L16008Chemistry/Food Science, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/C00004Biomedicine, generalhttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/B0000XBiological and Medical Physics, Biophysicshttps://scigraph.springernature.com/ontologies/product-market-codes/P27008Biochemistry.Cytology.Chemistry.Medicine.Biophysics.Biophysics.Biochemistry, general.Cell Biology.Chemistry/Food Science, general.Biomedicine, general.Biological and Medical Physics, Biophysics.572.633Buxbaum Engelbertauthttp://id.loc.gov/vocabulary/relators/aut1061033MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910298457803321Fundamentals of Protein Structure and Function2517217UNINA02892nam 2200649Ia 450 991095727560332120200520144314.097866117818119781281781819128178181997818464274801846427487(CKB)1000000000550009(EBL)350367(OCoLC)476168861(SSID)ssj0000222927(PQKBManifestationID)11190910(PQKBTitleCode)TC0000222927(PQKBWorkID)10174924(PQKB)11201100(MiAaPQ)EBC350367(Au-PeEL)EBL350367(CaPaEBR)ebr10251441(CaONFJC)MIL178181(OCoLC)437213843(Perlego)951870(EXLCZ)99100000000055000920070821d2008 uy 0engur|n|---|||||txtccrThe pocket guide to restorative justice /Pete Wallis and Barbara Tudor1st ed.London ;Philadelphia Jessica Kingsley20081 online resource (91 p.)Description based upon print version of record.9781843106296 1843106299 Includes bibliographical references and index.FRONT COVER; The Pocket Guide to Restorative Justice; Contents; Acknowledgements; 1.

It is tough for an offender to continue denying the consequences of their actions when they sit across the table from their victim. This explains why restorative justice is effective in cutting re-offending. Such face-to-face meetings… can also help the victim.'. - Cherie Booth QC.

A closer look at media openness : from institutional democracy to media openness? -- 9. The quest for peace.Addressing decision-making over interstate disputes and the democratic peace thesis, Choi and James build an interactive foreign policy decision-making model with a special emphasis on civil-military relations, conscription, diplomatic channels and media openness. Each is significant in explaining decisions over dispute involvement. The temporal scope is broad while the geographic scope is global. The result is sophisticated analysis of the causes of conflict and factors that can ameliorate it, and a generalizable approach to the study of foreign relations. The findings that media openness contributes to peaceful resolution of disputes, that the greater the influence of the military the more likely for their to be interstate disputes, that conscription is likely to have the same effect, and that increases in diplomatic interaction correlate with increased conflict are sure to generate debate.Advances in Foreign Policy Analysis,2945-5987International relationsComparative governmentPolitics and warDiplomacyInternational organizationPolitical scienceInternational RelationsComparative PoliticsMilitary and Defence StudiesDiplomacyInternational OrganizationPolitical ScienceInternational relations.Comparative government.Politics and war.Diplomacy.International organization.Political science.International Relations.Comparative Politics.Military and Defence Studies.Diplomacy.International Organization.Political Science.322/.5Choi Seung-Whan1626828James Patrick1957-890323MiAaPQMiAaPQMiAaPQBOOK9910960819103321Civil-Military Dynamics, Democracy, and International Conflict4334549UNINA
