    Description

    Nano-biotechnology crosses the boundaries between physics, biochemistry and bioengineering, and has profound implications for the biomedical engineering industry. This book describes the quantum chemical simulation of a wide variety of molecular systems, with detailed analysis of their quantum chemical properties, individual molecular configurations, and cutting-edge biomedical applications. Topics covered include the basic properties of quantum chemistry and its conceptual foundations, the nanoelectronics and thermodynamics of DNA, the optoelectronic properties of the five DNA/RNA nucleobase anhydrous crystals, and key examples of molecular diode prototypes. A wide range of important applications are described, including protein binding of drugs such as cholesterol-lowering, anti-Parkinson and anti-migraine drugs, and recent developments in cancer biology are also discussed. This modern and comprehensive text is essential reading for graduate students and researchers in multidisciplinary areas of biological physics, chemical physics, chemical engineering, biochemistry and bioengineering.

    • Includes a detailed introduction to the quantum chemical properties of molecular systems
    • Chapter by chapter introductions to individual molecular configurations
    • Includes cutting-edge biomedical applications such as modelling of the central nervous system, and the biology of cancer.

    Quarterly Reviews of Biophysics
    Quarterly Reviews of Biophysics

    : Journal

    Quarterly Reviews of Biophysics (QRB) covers the whole field of biophysics, from ion channels to DNA topology and from X-ray diffraction to NMR. The journal has gained a worldwide reputation, demonstrated by its high ranking in the ISI Science Citation Index, as a forum for general and specialised communication between biophysicists working in different areas. The journal features authoritative Reviews, the majority of which are invited from authors who have made significant contributions to the field, and who give critical, readable and sometimes controversial accounts of recent progress and problems in their speciality. The newly founded Discovery section publishes key Open Access original research and what may be described as true discoveries, or novel methods to reach mechanistic understanding of biological systems. While biophysics can be reasonably widely interpreted, to include areas like structural biology, our papers should be firmly anchored with a molecular view of the science.

    Plant Genetic Resources
    Plant Genetic Resources

    : Journal

    Plant Genetic Resources is an international journal which provides a forum for describing the application of novel genomic technologies, as well as their integration with established techniques, towards the understanding of the genetic variation captured in both in situ and ex situ collections of crop and non-crop plants; and for the airing of wider issues relevant to plant germplasm conservation and utilisation. We particularly welcome multi-disciplinary approaches that incorporate both a technical and a socio-economic focus. Technical aspects can cover developments in technologies of potential or demonstrated relevance to the analysis of variation and diversity at the phenotypic and genotypic levels; the development of rational germplasm collection, evaluation and conservation strategies; and the impact of crop genetic modification and biotechnology on plant genetic resources. Non-technical aspects can include ethical, legal, commercial and social issues of relevance, in particular relating to farmers’ rights, intellectual property and ethnobotany.
