      Structural Biology of Amyloid Fibrils is a comprehensive reference on the structure of protein aggregates in different neurodegenerative diseases and their molecular bases. Chapters describe these structures in detail, highlighting their similarities and differences across different disease states, alongside an unprecedented overview of current developments and new hypotheses emerging in amyloid fibril structure, stability and mechanisms of formation. This volume also discusses how amyloid structure may affect the ability of fibrils to spread to different sites in a prion-like manner, as well as their role in disease. Featuring chapters on NMR, X-ray crystallography, and Cryo-EM methods, and discussing the structure of amyloid fibrils obtained directly from patients, the book allows readers to understand how polymorphism is associated with disease phenotype and how fibril structure affects and influences the cellular environment. Understanding the molecular architecture of amyloid fibrils and oligomers will be an important step towards developing therapeutic interventions based on targeting the fibrils and oligomers themselves, or the processes that generate them.

      Sonochemical Synthesis of Natural Products and Heterocycles of Pharmaceutical Importance: Strategy Towards a Sustainable Society comprehensively summarizes of sonochemistry and ultrasound and their applicability to synthetic organic chemistry. Ultrasound has emerged as a potent activation technique for the development of low cost, efficient, and sustainable methodologies for the synthesis of natural products and heterocycles. Chapters demonstrate the application of sonochemistry to synthesizing molecules of natural origin, organic compounds containing N-heterocycles, O-heterocycles, and S-heterocycles, and the total synthesis and semisynthesis of bioactive compounds under ultrasonication through case studies, and detailed illustrations and methodologies. Sonochemical organic synthesis under solvent- and catalyst-free conditions and in an aqueous medium as a green solvent, use of nanoparticles as efficient catalysts, and green routes for drug design and synthesis using ultrasound, and their application in pharmaceutical and environmental chemistry are also explored. Sonochemical Synthesis of Natural Products and Heterocycles of Pharmaceutical Importance: Strategy Towards a Sustainable Society is a valuable resource for organic synthesis experts, specialists in natural products, advocates for sustainable chemistry and researchers and professionals working in total synthesis, semisynthesis, organic synthesis, and medicinal chemistry and pharmaceutical industries.

      Reactive Oxygen and Nitrogen Species in the Atmospheric and Aquatic Environments delves into the dynamic and complex roles of reactive oxygen and nitrogen species (ROS/RNS) across atmospheric and aquatic environments. This volume examines the occurrence, transformations, and ecological implications of ROS/RNS in aquatic systems, particularly their impact on biogeochemical cycles. It provides critical insights into modern techniques for sampling, handling, and analysing ROS/RNS, offering practical guidance for accurate environmental monitoring. The volume also addresses the frontiers of sensor technology, with a focus on nanoparticle-based sensors for detecting ROS/RNS with high selectivity and sensitivity, as well as atmospheric ROS/RNS and their direct and indirect effects on air quality and human health - an area of growing concern in climate and public health research.

      Magnetic resonance now has a history exceeding 70 years. Not only has the range of applications of magnetic resonance-based techniques grown exponentially but so too has the literature. Consequently, a distillation and synthesis of the literature is in itself an extremely important research tool, providing an efficient means to take newcomers to the research frontiers and keeping experienced researchers aware of contemporary practice.Since 1968 Annual Reports on NMR Spectroscopy been at the vanguard of reviewing the magnetic resonance literature. Annual Reports on NMR Spectroscopy covers magnetic resonance in all its forms, including theory, experiment, applications, and interconnections with other techniques. It also provides the opportunity to make coherent aspects of magnetic resonance that were scattered and opaque. Historical articles are also welcomed.Potential authors are encouraged to consult with the Editor.William S. PriceWestern Sydney University, NSW, Australiae-mail address: w.price@westernsydne...

      Mechanochemistry is being heralded as a transformation for green and sustainable chemistry by allowing materials and molecules to be synthesized without need for solvent and both more quickly and in higher yields than conventional solution methods. The continued development of mechanochemistry therefore promises to revolutionize the chemical industry and help to tackle global environmental challenges. The potential applications of mechanochemistry are growing rapidly, catalyzed by the growing diversity of scientists entering the field. Therefore, it is crucial to give newcomers to the field a clear overview of the key features of mechanochemistry, many of which seemingly contradict the conventional rules of chemistry. Introduction to the Mechanochemistry of Solids provides an outline of the fundamental principles of mechanochemistry in relation to solid-state reactivity as much-needed point of introduction to the field, allowing readers to achieve a better understanding of the processes that take place in a mechanoreactor during and after mechanical action. The book tackles the following key questions:How and why can mechanical treatment help when solution chemistry fails?Why might different sample preparation be important for the outcome of mechanical treatment?Why does treatment in different devices and/or different protocols of mechanical treatment give different results?When and why does adding fluids matter?How can we know what happens in a mechanochemical reactor at the moment of treatment?Introducti... to the Mechanochemistry of Solids will help expedite the further development of mechanochemistry and achieve the full potential of this transformative technology in the modern world. It is written primarily for advanced undergraduate/early graduate level students and researchers with interest in solid-state chemistry, materials science, sustainable/green chemistry, solid state physics, or applications of solid-state reactivity to industry such as the pharmaceutical and chemical sectors. It provides a much-needed resource for advanced-level courses on the mechanochemistry of solids.
