      Amine Oxidases in Clinical Research discusses the functions of amine oxidases in the rapid development of medical and biological research. Composed of 13 chapters, the book focuses on amine oxidases, including their key role in the metabolism of biogenic amines and other nitrogenous compounds in diseases and human health. The book considers primarily the enzymes denoted as EC 1.4.3.4 (flavin amine oxidases or monoamine oxidases) and EC 1.4.3.6 (copper-containing amine oxidase or diamine oxidases). To measure the estimates of amine oxidase activity, several methods and a number of requirements are presented. A description of the distribution and intracellular localization of amine oxidase follows. The methods of isolation and purification of amine oxides from different sources and the results of these various methods are explained. The text also considers the properties of the purified amine oxidases: the different methods of isolation and purification; storage conditions; and analytical techniques. Care is given when examining amine oxidases, because these may exhibit considerable differences in substrate specificity even if their physicochemical properties are similar. Inhibition of amine oxidase activity by unspecific and specific inhibitions is further discussed, including the biological functions and known effects of hormones on the biosynthesis and catabolism of the amine oxidase. Finally, the possible pathogenetic and/or diagnostic significance of the amine oxidases, as well as the corrective approaches seen in pathological conditions and in clinical medicine, are explained. Written as a handbook for the medically oriented investigators, biologists, and medical and chemical researchers, this book will prove a handy reference.

      Atomic Weights of the Elements 1975 outlines the different problems that arise from the imprecise definition of atomic weight or relative atomic mass. This book reviews the natural isotopic composition of the elements and tabulates the relative atomic masses for selected radioisotopes. This book is comprised of one chapter. This text begins with an overview of the problems arising from the actual or potential variability of the atomic weights of several elements. This book then discusses the significance of having informative labels on chemicals that are commercially available. The reader is also introduced to the concept of a defined standard atomic weight. This book discusses as well the important changes in annotations and the wordings of footnotes to the Table. This book is a valuable resource for chemists, teachers, and students. Research workers interested in atomic weights of the various elements will also find this book extremely useful.

      Organic Functional Group Analysis: Theory and Development details the methods the best represent the progress in functional group analysis. In the second part, the title presents several papers that cover various areas in the field of functional group analysis. The text first covers the oximation of acetone and furfural, and then proceeds to tackling the utility of non-aqueous titrations. The selection also discusses how the determination of the per cent enol provides information which complements the per cent purity found by non-aqueous titration. Next, the title discusses the analytical advantages in using base catalysis and acid catalysis with the same reagent. The last chapters present useful functional group methods which have received impetus from contemporary research. The book will be of great use to students, researchers, and practitioners of chemistry related disciplines.

      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.
