Ebook "NMR in biological systems: From molecules to humans" caters to the needs of: (i) graduate students who mostly learn such techniques from senior post-docs in the laboratory; (ii) those who are not experts in NMR but wish to understand if a particular problem in animal, plant, medical and pharmaceutical sciences can be answered by NMR; and (iii) those who are experts in chemistry and biochemistry and wish to know how NMR can provide them information on structural or functional aspect of proteins, nucleic acids, cells and tissues, human and plant organs and other biological materials.

Manduca sexta is a large lepidopteran insect widely used as a model to study biochemistry of insect physiological processes. As a part of its genome project, over 50 cDNA libraries have been analyzed to profile gene expression in different tissues and life stages.

Fomesafen is widely used as herbicide for weed control. Fomesafen have both foliar and soil activity. It mostly control broadleaves. Fomesafen is labeled for postemergence applications to soybeans, peanuts, and rice. Although bronzing or burning of soybean leaf tissue is evident after application, yield is rarely affected. The present study was designed to evaluate the effect of repeated exposure of Fomesafen (Herbicide) by oral gavage method on the blood biochemistry of female wistar rats.

Pancreatic cancer has the highest mortality rate among cancers due to its aggressive biology and lack of effective treatment. Gemcitabine, the first line anticancer drug has reduced efficacy due to acquired resistance. The current study evaluates the toxicological effects of Orthosiphon stamineus (O.s) and its marker compound (rosmarinic acid) in combination with gemcitabine. O.s (200 or 400 mg/kg/day) and rosmarinic acid (32 mg/kg/day) were administered orally and gemcitabine (10 mg/kg/3 days) intraperitoneally either alone or in combination treatment for fourteen days.

Movement is an intrinsic property associated with all living things.Within cells, molecules undergo coordinated and organized movements, and cells themselves may move across a surface. At the tissue level,muscle contraction allows higher organisms to carry out and control crucial internal functions, such as peristalsis in the gut and the beating of the heart. Muscle contraction also enables the organism to perform organized and sophisticated movements, such as walking, running, flying, and swimming.

Fatty acids represent the principal form of stored energy for many organisms. There are two important advantages to storing energy in the form of fatty acids. The carbon in fatty acids is almost completely reduced compared to the carbon in other simple biomolecules. Therefore, oxidation of fatty acids will yield more energy (in the form of ATP) than any other form of carbon. Fatty acids are not generally as hydrated as monosaccharides and polysaccharides are, and thus they can pack more closely in storage tissues.

Higher life forms must have molecular mechanisms for detecting environmental information as well as mechanisms that allow for communication at the cell and tissue levels. Sensory systems detect and integrate physical and chemical information from the environment and pass this information along by the process of neurotransmission. Control and coordination of processes at the cell and tissue levels are achieved not only by neurotransmission but also by chemical signals in the form of hormones that are secreted by one set of cells to direct the activity of other cells.

The human b-globin gene locus is the subject of intense study, and over the past two decades a wealth of information has accumulated on how tissue-specific and stage-specific expression of its genes is achieved. The data are extensive and it would be difficult, if not impossible, to formulate a comprehensive model integrating every aspect of what is currently known. In this review, we introduce the fundamental characteristics of globin locus regulation as well as questions on which much of the current research is predicated.

The human MUC4 gene encodes a large membrane-associated mucin, characterized by a mucin tandem repeat domain and a growth factor-like transmembrane domain. In addition to the originally published sequence (sv0-MUC4), several MUC4 cDNA sequences (called sv1-MUC4 to sv21MUC4, MUC4/X, MUC4/Y) from various tissues and cell lines have been recently described. They differ from sv0MUC4 by deletions and/or insertions located in the 3¢ region or, for two of them, by deletion of the central repetitive domain.

A severe challenge to the idea that mitochondrial DNA mutations play a major role in the aging process in mammals is that clear loss-of-function mutations accumulate only to very low levels (under 1% of total) in almost any tissue, even by very old age. Their accumulation is punctate: some cells become nearly devoid of wild-type mitochondrial DNA and exhibit no activity for the partly mitochondrially encoded enzyme cytochrome c oxidase. Such cells accumulate in number with aging, suggesting that they survive indefinitely, which is itself paradoxical....

The serpin plasminogen activator inhibitor type 1 (PAI-1) plays an important role in physiological processes such as thrombolysis and ®brinolysis, as well as pathophysiological processes such as thrombosis, tumor invasion and metas-tasis. In addition to inhibiting serine proteases, mainly tissue-type (tPA) and urokinase-type (uPA) plasminogen activators, PAI-1 interacts with di€erent components of the extracellular matrix, i.e. ®brin, heparin (Hep) and vitronectin (Vn).

Glofish is the first transgenic animal approved to be consumed by human in the USA  The insertion of different constructs of GFP into the fish genomes to give different green colors.The idea for recombinant DNA was first proposed by Peter Lobban, a graduate student of Prof. Dale Kaiser in the Biochemistry Department at Stanford University Medical School. The first publications describing the successful production and intracellular replication of recombinant DNA appeared in 1972 and 1973.

Domain IV, consisting of about 230 residues, represents a particular protein module so far found only in lamininb1 andb2 chains. Both domains were obtained by recombi-nant production in mammalian cells. They showed a globular structure, as expected from electron microscopic examination of laminins. Fragmentb1IV was obtained as a monomer and a disul®de-bonded dimer, and both were modi®ed to50% by a single chondroitin sulfate chain attached to Ser721 of an SGD consensus sequence.

The vanilloid-like TRP-channel VRL-1 (TRPV2) is a non-selective cation channel expressed by primary sensory neurons and non-neuronal tissues [Caterina, M.J., Rosen, T.A., Tominaga, M., Brake, A.J and Julius, D. (1999) Nature398, 436–441]. It is one of the six members of the vanilloid-like TRP-channel family which is now termed the TRPV family [Montell, G., Birnbaumer, L., Flockerzi, V., Bindels, R.J., Brutford, E.A., Caterina, M.J., Clapham, D.E., Harteneck, C., Heller, S., Julius, D., Kojima, I., Mori, Y., Penner, R., Prawitt, D., Scharenberg, A.M., Schultz, G., Shimizu, N. and Zhu, M.X.
