Structural Genomics on Membrane Proteins

Structural Genomics on Membrane Proteins

While the genomic revolution has quickly led to the deposit of more than 30 000 structures in the protein data bank (PDB) less than one percent of those contributions represent membrane proteins despite the fact that membrane proteins constitute some 20 percent of all proteins. This discrepancy becomes significantly troublesome when it is coupled with the fact that 60 percent of current drugs are based on targeting this group of proteins a trend that does not seem likely to reverse. Structural Genomics on Membrane Proteins provides an excellent overview on novel research in bioinformatics and modeling on membranes as well as the latest technological developments being employed in expression purification and crystallography to obtain high-resolution structures on membrane proteins. This cutting-edge work also explains the difficulties facing researchers—both technical and ethical—that have slowed the process. Structural Genomics on Membrane Proteins provides researchers with an unprecedented look at the novel technologies that will ultimately allow them to conquer the last frontier in structural biology leading to accelerated breakthroughs in drug discovery.

Feynman Lectures on Computation Anniversary Edition

Feynman Lectures on Computation Anniversary Edition

The last lecture course that Nobel Prize winner Richard P. Feynman gave to students at Caltech from 1983 to 1986 was not on physics but on computer science. The first edition of the Feynman Lectures on Computation published in 1996 provided an overview of standard and not-so-standard topics in computer science given in Feynman’s inimitable style. Although now over 20 years old most of the material is still relevant and interesting and Feynman’s unique philosophy of learning and discovery shines through. For this new edition Tony Hey has updated the lectures with an invited chapter from Professor John Preskill on “Quantum Computing 40 Years Later”. This contribution captures the progress made toward building a quantum computer since Feynman’s original suggestions in 1981. The last 25 years have also seen the “Moore’s law” roadmap for the IT industry coming to an end. To reflect this transition John Shalf Senior Scientist at Lawrence Berkeley National Laboratory has contributed a chapter on “The Future of Computing beyond Moore’s Law”. The final update for this edition is an attempt to capture Feynman’s interest in artificial intelligence and artificial neural networks. Eric Mjolsness now a Professor of Computer Science at the University of California Irvine was a Teaching Assistant for Feynman’s original lecture course and his research interests are now the application of artificial intelligence and machine learning for multi-scale science. He has contributed a chapter called “Feynman on Artificial Intelligence and Machine Learning” that captures the early discussions with Feynman and also looks toward future developments. This exciting and important work provides key reading for students and scholars in the fields of computer science and computational physics. | Feynman Lectures on Computation Anniversary Edition

CRC Desk Reference on Sports Nutrition

CRC Desk Reference on Sports Nutrition

The landscape of sports nutrition is dramatically altering as those in search of optimal performance are moving the field from haphazard alchemy to exact science. Currently thousands of products - from ancient herbs and old standards to hormone extractions and test tube concoctions -compete for a place at the training table of both professional and amateur competitors as well as those non-athletes seeking some potent elixir of youth. Unfortunately getting straight and genuinely relevant information on these products can be a time consuming and frustrating challenge. The CRC Desk Reference on Sports Nutrition following in the tradition of authoritative CRC references will place in your hands the most comprehensive desk reference available on sports nutrition products. Intelligently organized each entry depending upon its prominence and importance is followed either by a definition paragraph essay composition article or feature article. Many of the more complex entries are supported with figures or tables. While the authors have adhered to the principles of scientific discipline they have also taken the effort to make the text highly accessible to anyone with an interest in sports nutrition. Extremely relevant the listings include important issues regarding exercise metabolism and performance recent products both legal and illegal as well as common dietary supplements and traditional herbs. Recent events make it clear that it is becoming more and more challenging for practitioners to adhere to the Hippocratic caveat of do no harm as supplements become more potent and potentially more dangerous. With its desk reference on sports nutrition CRC has taken the lead in helping to meet that challenge.
