Chemical genomics; reviews and protocols.1588293998 Chemical genomics; reviews and protocols. Ed. by Edward D. Zanders. Humana Press Inc. 2005 279 pages $99.50 Hardcover Methods in molecular biology molecular biology, scientific study of the molecular basis of life processes, including cellular respiration, excretion, and reproduction. The term molecular biology was coined in 1938 by Warren Weaver, then director of the natural sciences program at the Rockefeller ; v.310 QH431 With its promises to turn biological chemistry into a high-throughput industrial process, chemical genomics is a hot area of research. In this collection of articles contributors introduce concepts of chemical genomics, specializing in offering readily reproducible techniques for organic and protein chemistry. The papers review the basics, including computer-aided design computer-aided design (CAD) or computer-aided design and drafting (CADD), form of automation that helps designers prepare drawings, specifications, parts lists, and other design-related elements using special graphics- and calculations-intensive of small molecules, and then continue with protocols such as the role and application of In Silico docking in research, high-throughput cloning cloning: see clone. To make a product that functions like another. See clone. See also cloning software. for proteonomic research, peptide peptide, organic compound composed of amino acids linked together chemically by peptide bonds. The peptide bond always involves a single covalent link between the α-carboxyl (oxygen-bearing carbon) of one amino acid and the amino nitrogen of a second amino acid. and small-molecule microarrays and a practical protocol for carbohydrate carbohydrate, any member of a large class of chemical compounds that includes sugars, starches, cellulose, and related compounds. These compounds are produced naturally by green plants from carbon dioxide and water (see photosynthesis). microarrays. ([c]20062005 Book News, Inc., Portland, OR) |
