  • Ion Transport

    • 1st Edition
    • David Keeling + 1 more
    • English
    Ion Transport is a collection of papers from the Smith Kline & French Research "Symposium on Ion Transport" held in Cambridge, on April 12-14, 1989. These papers focus on the plasma membrane, particularly on the three main classes of transporters, namely, pumps, exchangers, and channels. Some papers discuss the different experimental approaches from electrophysiological and ion flux measurements through pharmacology, molecular biology, electrostatics, and computer modeling. Other papers discuss the P-type cation pump, a class of ATP-driven ion pumps, which is determined from its subunit composition and from the results of the hydrolysis of ATP. Several papers explain the techniques used in ion channels and their modulation. These techniques can be used in the voltage-gated Na+ channel or in permeation mechanisms. Other papers examine the transport proteins involved in the physiology of ion transport. Ions and fluid transport relate to, at the molecular level, how ions cross membranes. A minimum model, in conjunction with theoretical perspective, can describe the mechanism by which ions move through channels. This collection can prove beneficial for biochemists, micro-biologists, cellular researchers, and academicians involved in the study of cellular biology or biophysics.

  • Model Answers in Organic Chemistry

    For 'A' Level and Ordinary National Certificate Students
    • 1st Edition
    • A. J. Showler + 1 more
    • C. W. Schofield
    • English
    Model Answers in Organic Chemistry aims to provide the student (particularly the student who is working on his own or who is inexperienced in sitting for examinations) with a series of answers which show what is required and expected in the General Certificate of Education Advanced Level and Ordinary National Certificate examinations. Opinions differ in many cases as to what is required in answer to a given question, and the authors would not suggest that their answers are perfect. Nor should the student use them as such, or assume that all the organic chemistry he needs is to be found in this book. The answers are intended only to supplement the information in the normal textbook used in preparing for the examination, and to serve as a guide to the reader, in that they show, for example, how long an answer should be, how information should be presented, the type of sketch required, the essential equations and details of a preparation. The book presents questions on the following topics: structure and isomerism, alkyl halides and related compounds, ether and alcohols, alcohols and phenols, aldehydes and ketones, carboxylic acids, esters, nitriles (cyanides), amines, diazonium compounds, and benzene and derivatives.

    • E. Wolfram
    • English
    Colloid and Surface Science records the plenary and main lectures of the International Conference on Colloid and Surface Science, held in Budapest Hungary in September 1975. The conference discusses such topics as main factors affecting the stability of colloids; the thermodynamics of adsorption excess quantities; pore structure of solids; the effect of adsorption on the interaction between solid particles; colloid and surface chemical aspects of mesophases; and the measurement of surface tension by exact methods. Physicists and chemists specializing in colloids and surface tension will find the book very insightful.

  • The Chemistry of the Lanthanides

    Pergamon Texts in Inorganic Chemistry
    • 1st Edition
    • Therald Moeller
    • English
    Inorganic Chemistry, Volume 26: The Chemistry of the Lanthanides provides information pertinent to the fundamental aspects of the chemistry of lanthanides. This book discusses the electronic configurations and the consequences thereof of lanthanides. Organized into four chapters, this volume begins with an overview of the characterized state of oxidation of all the lanthanides both in solid compounds and in solutions in water and other solvents. This text then presents the data indicating an overall decrease from lanthanum to lutetium even though there is the expected increase in the sizes of atoms and derived terpositive ions in Group IIIA elements. Other chapters consider the differences between the lanthanide elements and the d-transition. This book discusses as well the types of lanthanide complexes. The final chapter deals with the estimated absolute abundances of the lanthanides in the cosmos as well as in the crust. This book is a valuable resource for inorganic chemists.
