Advances in Clinical Chemistry, Volume 124 provides the fundamentals of physiologic and pathophysiologic biochemistry in general and clinical chemistry. Complex molecular pathways are elucidated using historical, current, and emerging technologies such as biosensor design and development. Identification of novel biomarkers and accurate and precise analysis are key to cutting-edge patient care, diagnostics, and treatment. This series strategically focuses on new tools for the detection of novel biomarkers, especially in light of an aging worldwide population faced with increased prevalence of chronic disease, many of which lack early diagnostic tools that are so essential to patient care and socioeconomic outcome.

Lanthanides in Enzymology and Microbiology, a new volume in the Foundations and Frontiers in Enzymology Series, offers a detailed discussion of lanthanides and lanthanide-dependent enzyme biology. In this book, more than a dozen global experts consider lanthanide enzymology fundamentals, organismal utilization of lanthanides, distribution and diversity of lanthanide-dependent enzymes, regulation of intracellular levels of lanthanides, gene expression regulation via lanthanides, as well as likely applications of lanthanide binding proteins. Lanthanide-dependent methanol and alcohol dehydrogenase metabolism are considered in both methylotrophs and non-methylotrophs, alongside various application areas, from recovery of rare earth elements to developing lanthanide ion binding peptides and biosynthesis of terpolymers through reverse-oxidation pathways. In providing this deep context and pathways for future research, this book acts as an invaluable resource in this emerging field for researchers and students of biochemistry, biotechnology, and environmental microbiology alike.

Proteins: A Structural Biology Perspective explains how advances in modern physics fueled the birth of structural biology and modern molecular biology in the early to mid 20th century. Scientifically rigorous and deeply informed by the author’s own 60-year career as a structural biologist, the book provides historical and personal accounts of how two generations of renowned scientists doggedly pursued their research projects to arrive at milestone achievements, while also covering basic aspects of protein structures and their evolution with a special focus on molecules at the surface of cells and viruses. Since 1962, when only a single structure for myoglobin had been determined at atomic resolution, the rapidly evolving field has grown exponentially to fill protein structure databases (PDB) worldwide with hundred thousands of structures for basic research and medical advancement. From “What is a Wave?” to “What Is Life?”, Proteins: A Structural Biology Perspective takes readers on a uniquely intimate journey through the past 100 years of protein science, while providing an up-to-the-minute assessment of successful structure prediction by AI models like AlphaFold and RoseTTAFold and where it’s all likely to lead. Outfitted with detailed illustrations and authoritative citations, this is a valuable resource for graduate students and young research scientists in biology and the medical sciences.

The Three Functional States of Proteins explores how structured proteins, intrinsically disordered proteins, and phase separated proteins contribute to the complexity of cellular life, and offers insights into their roles in both health and disease. It discusses the latest research findings and highlight groundbreaking discoveries and innovative methodologies used to study these protein states.Traditionally... the different states of proteins have been defined based on their structures and functions. However, it is becoming increasingly clear that these criteria alone may not be sufficient to capture the complex and multifaceted properties of these molecules. Definitions based on thermodynamics and kinetics are now recognized as potentially more appropriate for comprehensively understanding protein states. Emerging evidence indicates that under physiological conditions, a majority of proteins possess the capability to exist in and transition between the native, droplet, and amyloid states. These distinct states play crucial roles in various cellular functions, influenced significantly by their physicochemical and structural properties. The book also considers the interactions among these states and discusses how their internal organization as individual molecules, as well as their collective organization as molecular assemblies are stabilized. Furthermore, it examines the processes by which these states are formed and the cellular functions associated with each specific state.

Laccase and Polyphenol Oxidase: Biochemistry and Biotechnological Applications, a new volume in the Foundations and Frontiers in Enzymology series, provides a thorough discussion of the laccase and polyphenol oxidase enzyme families, which play key roles in the oxidation of phenolic substrates and are involved in a range of important biological functions in many organisms. In recent years, significant advances have been made in understanding these enzymes, but few resources exist on their fundamental biology, mechanisms, and applications. In this book, leading world experts discuss the biochemistry of laccase and polyphenol oxidases, research methods, and uses across industries, offering mechanistic and practical overviews of these important enzyme classes and empowering researchers to develop their own studies and hone applications. This book deftly connects topics across these intricate enzyme systems, with early chapters on the physicochemical properties of PPO and laccase, followed by separate sections on these related enzyme classes’ function in biological and industrial systems, production, purification, active assays, and application areas from food and wine to bioremediation to green chemistry.
