Book Description
The prediction of the conformation of proteins has developed from an intellectual exercise into a serious practical endeavor that has great promise to yield new stable enzymes, products of pharmacological significance, and catalysts of great potential. With the application of predic tion gaining momentum in various fields, such as enzymology and immunology, it was deemed time that a volume be published to make available a thorough evaluation of present methods, for researchers in this field to expound fully the virtues of various algorithms, to open the field to a wider audience, and to offer the scientific public an opportunity to examine carefully its successes and failures. In this manner the practitioners of the art could better evaluate the tools and the output so that their expectations and applications could be more realistic. The editor has assembled chapters by many of the main contributors to this area and simultaneously placed their programs at three national resources so that they are readily available to those who wish to apply them to their personal interests. These algorithms, written by their originators, when utilized on pes or larger computers, can instantaneously take a primary amino acid sequence and produce a two-or three-dimensional artistic image that gives satisfaction to one's esthetic sensibilities and food for thought concerning the structure and function of proteins. It is in this spirit that this volume was envisaged.
Horse Conformation
Author: Juliet HedgePublisher: Globe Pequot
ISBN: 9781592284870
Category : Horses
Languages : en
Pages : 0
Book Description
The most comprehensive guide to the horse's body - inside and out - ever published. In athletics as in architecture, form follows function, and nowhere is that truth more important than in equestrian sports. The better a horse's conformation (how the animal measures up, or conforms, to the ideal standards of its breed or type), the better it will be able to perform. Using hundreds of photographs and drawings, this masterfully produced book will show you how to develop the eye that any horseman needs to assess equine conformation and anatomy. Its comprehensive text focuses on: Ideal and abnormal conformation features Balance and symmetry The relationship between conformation faults and athletic ability Colors and markings Anatomical elements, teeth, and aging Digestive, neurological, respiratory, and circulatory systems The relationship between structure and function Now in paperback, Horse Conformation is the single most valuable book on its subject and one that deserves a prominent place in every horse owner's or rider's library.

Author: Jacek WalukPublisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 9780471297079
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 400
Book Description
A unique look at some of the hottest topics in photophysics and photochemistry today The study of molecules in excited states has exploded over the past decade, providing new insights into conformational changes in organic molecules and opening up research opportunities for scientists and professionals in chemistry, physics, biology, medicine, and materials engineering. Using conformational analysis as a unifying concept, this important new work provides readers with a cohesive and cutting-edge overview of this fascinating and challenging field. From conformational changes accompanying photoinduced electron transfer to elementary photophysical and photochemical processes in living systems, the most representative and challenging topics are carefully gleaned from the vast literature, highlighting major conceptual problems along with the relevant experimental techniques. Authoritative, detailed contributions from both experimentalists and theoreticians include coverage of: * Conformational changes in intramolecular excited state electron transfer * Conformational aspects of excited state proton transfer * The novel topic of solute-solvent friction in chemical reactions * Mechanisms and structural aspects of exciplex formations * Conformational aspects of organic photochemistry * Calculations of excited state conformational properties
Organic Conformational Analysis and Stereochemistry from Circular Dichroism Spectroscopy
Author: David A. LightnerPublisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 9780471354055
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 508
Book Description
Unter Zirkulardichroismus (CD) versteht man die spezifisch unterschiedliche Absorption von links- und rechtszirkular polarisiertem Licht durch bestimmte Moleküle. CD-Effekte lassen sich in Abhängigkeit von der Wellenlänge messen und spektroskopisch auswerten; sie geben beispielsweise Auskunft über die Konformation organischer Verbindungen. Dieses Buch richtet sich an den organischen Chemiker, der mit den Grundprinzipien der Stereochemie vertraut ist, und erläutert die Anwendung der CD-Spektroskopie zur Konformationsanalyse ausführlich und verständlich.

The Horse Conformation Handbook
Author: Heather Smith ThomasPublisher: Storey Publishing
ISBN:
Category : Nature
Languages : en
Pages : 418
Book Description
Horses with good conformation move fluidly, experience less wear and tear on joints, and are more apt to stay fit. Explaining how conformation relates to structure and function, Heather Smith Thomas shows you how to identify a horse’s desirable attributes and potential faults. You’ll learn to train your eye to see past an animal’s physical beauty and recognize proper balance, leg angles, and height as you confidently select horses that have superior durability, trainability, and athletic potential.
Stereochemistry of Organic Compounds
Author: D. NasipuriPublisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN:
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 554
Book Description
This text deals with the new concepts and terminology that have been introduced into the treatment of organic stereochemistry over the last decade. Organic reaction mechanisms, as they relate to stereochemistry, are included, and the pericyclic reaction using the frontier molecular orbital approach is explained. The text does not assume a strong grounding in organic chemistry and will therefore be useful to a broader spectrum of students - both graduate and undergraduate. The volume features numerous illustrations and programmed problems.
The Horse's Pain-Free Back and Saddle-Fit Book
Author: Joyce HarmanPublisher: Trafalgar Square Books
ISBN: 1570768935
Category : Sports & Recreation
Languages : en
Pages : 499
Book Description
When your horse suddenly develops a performance problem or a bad attitude and neither seem to be remedied by new training techniques or medical care, you often face months—even years—of frustration and career limitation. Dr. Joyce Harman, veterinarian and respected saddle-fitting expert, states that 75 percent of horses with such issues are simply reacting to pain caused by ill-fitting saddles. And, as she explains in this thorough and highly illustrated book, poor saddle fit can be corrected with patience and know-how.
