Laboratory Techniques in Biochemistry and Molecular Biology, Volume 3, Part 2, Techniques of Lipidology: Isolation, Analysis and Identification of Lipids (Vol 3)
(Since the appearance of the first edition of this book, i...)
Since the appearance of the first edition of this book, in 1972, the number of publications dealing with the isolation, analysis and identification of lipids has increased enormously. The second edition, therefore, not only updates procedures and instrumentation but also enlarges on the theoretical basis of the book where appropriate. For example, chemical structures of new lipid classes and components have been added and chemical reactions underlying analytical procedures, as well as formulae for calculation of analytical results, have been inserted. Procedures and techniques that are no longer useful have been deleted or replaced by new procedures.

Techniques of Lipidology: Isolation, Analysis, and Identification of Lipids
( 'Techniques of Lipidology' can be considered a lipid re...)
'Techniques of Lipidology' can be considered a lipid research classic. This, the 3rd edition, describes how to extract lipids, to separate lipid classes from a total lipid extract, to analyze lipids by TLC, and to hydrolyze lipids. The book also includes a wealth of IR, NMR and mass spectrometry data about lipids and their hydrolysis products. Earlier editions of this book have served as a practical and fundamental guide to Lipidology for thousands of scientists worldwide. The original work by Dr. Morris Kates was published in 1972 and was followed by a second edition in 1986. In this, the 3rd edition, Dr. Kates incorporates key aspects of his own and related research since 1986, adding detail and expanding content to include groundbreaking findings related to cardiolipin, extremophiles, and the composition of cell membranes. The overall format and organization of the third edition is similar to that of the second edition, but has been considerably extended in scope and coverage. Comprehensive lists of figures, tables and equations have been added for the convenience of the reader. Finally, the book has been typeset on pages that are 35% larger than those of earlier editions. We trust that this revised edition will be useful to a wide group of experienced researchers and scientists in the fields of molecular biology, biochemistry and medicine. Material covered - highlights: • Classification of lipids • Spectral characteristics of lipids • Reactions and calculations • Equipment and supplies • 160+ Concise procedures: • Lipid extraction and analysis • Separation of lipid mixtures • Radioisotopic labelling, extraction and analysis of lipids • Identification of lipids and lipid moieties For ease of reference, the book now includes lists of figures, tables, and equations, and an expanded index and table of contents. 35 tables 43 figures 113 equations 350+ structures 800+ references 160+ concise procedures Audience: Lipid researchers, as well as biochemists and molecular biologists whose research has led them to the analytical biochemistry of lipids.

The Biochemistry of Archaea (New Comprehensive Biochemistry)

In the last 10 years, considerable information has accumulated on the biochemistry of archaea. In this volume, the subject as a whole is treated in a comprehensive manner. The book brings together recent knowledge concerning general metabolism, bioenergetics, molecular biology and genetics, membrane lipid and cell-wall structural chemistry and evolutionary relations, of the three major groups of archaea: the extreme halophiles, the extreme thermophiles and the methanogens. Subjects included are: the evolutionary relationship of these microorganisms to all other living cells; special metabolic features of archaea; protein structural chemistry; cell envelopes; molecular biology in archaea including DNA structure and replication, transcription apparatus, translation apparatus, and ribosomal structure; and a final chapter on the molecular genetics of archaea. This comprehensive scope ensures its usefulness to researchers, and stimulates further study in this rapidly developing field.
