Enzymes in Human and Animal Nutrition is a detailed reference on enzymes covering detailed information on all relevant aspects fundamental for final use of enzymes in human and animal nutrition. Topics explored include selection, engineering and expression of microbial enzymes, effects of probiotics on enzymes in the digestive tract, potential new sources of enzymes, valorization of plant biomass by food and feed enzymes. Economics and intellectual property issues are also examined. - Examines the role of enzymes in nutrition and in the production of food and animal feed so that food industry and academic researchers can understand applications of enzymes in the health of humans and animals - Begins with a thorough overview of selection, engineering and expression of microbial enzymes - Examines extremophile organisms as a potential new source of enzymes - Includes discussion of analytics, economics and intellectual property to increase applicability of the rest of the book outside of the lab
Serine proteases play significant roles in healh and human disease. Abnormal expression and activities of serine proteases have been linked to the pathogenesis of many diseases. The book presents correlation between serine proteases and human diseases. It helps the reader understand classification, catalytic mechanism and types of serine proteases and their role in human disease pathogenesis at mechanistic level. The chapters explain the role of serine proteases in various diseases including respiratory disorders and cancer. It also covers the therapeutic importance of serine proteases as drug target and explains the mechanistic insights of serine proteases inhibitors. Serine protease are kn...
This expansive and practical textbook contains organic chemistry experiments for teaching in the laboratory at the undergraduate level covering a range of functional group transformations and key organic reactions.The editorial team have collected contributions from around the world and standardized them for publication. Each experiment will explore a modern chemistry scenario, such as: sustainable chemistry; application in the pharmaceutical industry; catalysis and material sciences, to name a few. All the experiments will be complemented with a set of questions to challenge the students and a section for the instructors, concerning the results obtained and advice on getting the best outcome from the experiment. A section covering practical aspects with tips and advice for the instructors, together with the results obtained in the laboratory by students, has been compiled for each experiment. Targeted at professors and lecturers in chemistry, this useful text will provide up to date experiments putting the science into context for the students.
O presente trabalho não pretende ser apenas mais um livro de família. É uma obra que resgata não só a saga da família Gabardo, como também um pouco da história de dois países que se envolvem na trama apresentada. Não se procurou fazer aqui um trabalho com cunho comercial, mas apenas uma obra com caráter sentimental. Apresenta uma pequena resenha histórica da Itália, terra natal da família, da região do Vêneto, berço dos emigrantes, da província de Vicenza e finalmente do comune de Valstagna, de onde especificamente partiram os membros da família. Esboça-se um relato da viagem empreendida até a nova terra, o Brasil. Enumeram-se as colônias fundadas para abrigar os novos colonizadores. Finalmente, foca-se sobre o trabalho da família Gabardo, procurando resgatar sua ancestralidade e apresentando os imigrantes e seus descendentes. O livro pretende, além de resgatar a história dos dois países, tornar-se um elemento de reconhecimento das raízes para aqueles ligados à família que queiram ter uma pequena noção de suas origens.
