Peptides: Chemistry and Biology
Author: Norbert Sewald / Hans-Dieter Jakubke
pages: 597 pages Publisher: Wiley-VCH
ISBN: 3527304053 Format: pdf Size: 7 MB

Summary:
Peptides play a decisive role in many physiological processes, whether as neurotransmitters, hormones or antibiotics. The rapid developments in peptide research over the past few decades make it almost impossible for newcomers to gain an overview. This means an easily comprehensible yet concise introduction is vital.
This unique work covers all the important aspects of this wide-ranging field in one handy volume. On the basis of the fundamental chemical and structural properties of peptides, this reference runs the gamut from analysis, the occurrence and biological importance of peptides, via chemical, biochemical and genetic methods of peptide synthesis, right up to peptide libraries, peptide design and their role in drug research. Yet this book offers much more than a mere overview of the latest level of research. An encyclopedic appendix with valuable data on more than 500 biological relevant peptides and proteins, a comprehensive register and details of further literature references make this the ideal reference for all questions regarding peptide research. For newcomers and specialists alike.

Fundamentals of Quantum Chemistry Molecular Spectroscopy and Modern Electronic Structure Computations
Description:
This slender volume is evidence for the claim that some people really want to do things in their own way. Michael Mueller has written a textbook that is apparently unique in its approach and even in its sequence of topics. The author’s institution, Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology in Terre Haute, Indiana, offers a two-quarter physical chemistry course that does not include any quantum chemistry. It is followed by a one-quarter course in quantum chemistry and molecular spectroscopy, presumably taught by Mueller from this textbook. Most of the topics covered in the quantum chemistry portion of a standard physical chemistry course are included in a highly condensed form. Several topics are treated in more detail and at a higher level than in a standard physical chemistry course and some topics, such as molecular symmetry, are completely omitted. The author appears to have tried to eliminate all possible details about some topics in order to dwell at greater length on other topics.

There are nine chapters in the book. Chapter 1 treats classical mechanics, based on Hamilton’s equations rather than directly on Newton’s Second Law. Chapter 2 is entitled “Fundamentals of Quantum Mechanics,” and it typifies the author’s omission of background information and detail. In 22 small pages, it introduces the following topics: de Broglie waves, classical waves, quantum mechanical postulates, the time-independent Schrödinger equation, the Born interpretation of the wave function, the particle in a one-dimensional box and in a three-dimensional box, Hermitian operators, expectation values, and the Heisenberg uncertainty principle.

From this point, the author’s sequence of topics is unusual. The third chapter presents rotational motion. Instead of treating a rigid rotor, the author treats the particle on a ring and the particle on a sphere. The fourth chapter discusses approximation techniques, including variation theory and perturbation theory. In this chapter the author abandons his policy of omitting all of the details and includes a relatively complete discussion of perturbation theory, including second-order energy corrections and degenerate perturbation theory.

Much of the next chapter is also more complete than is customary in most physical chemistry textbooks. It begins with a slightly condensed standard treatment of the harmonic oscillator and ends with a rather detailed treatment of reflection, transmission, and tunneling through a finite potential barrier.

The sixth chapter treats the vibrational and rotational spectroscopy of diatomic molecules. In an in-depth manner, the corrections to the rigid-rotor-harmonic-oscillator model are derived using perturbation theory. The time-dependent Schrödinger equation is finally introduced in a rather idiosyncratic way. The author asserts that the operator i(h/2π)∂/∂t corresponds to the energy. He then replaces EΨ in the time-independent Schrödinger equation by i(h/2π)∂Ψ/∂t to obtain the time-dependent equation. Time-dependent perturbation theory is presented in some detail and is used to derive selection rules for diatomic molecules. The seventh chapter treats the spectroscopy of polyatomic molecules. The treatment includes explicit expression for the energy levels of oblate and prolate symmetric tops and also includes a treatment of hindered internal rotations.

Chapter 8 treats the electronic structure of atoms. A nice treatment of the hydrogen atom leads to a very sketchy discussion of orbitals and probability densities. The helium atom is treated in a standard way using perturbation and variation theory. Multi-electron atoms are discussed briefly and Slater-type orbitals are introduced. Several pages are devoted to a detailed theoretical discussion of spin–orbit interaction. The chapter closes with a section on selection rules for atomic spectra.

The final chapter treats the electronic structure of molecules. The hydrogen molecule ion H2+ is discussed only in the LCAOMO approximation. Homonuclear diatomic molecules and the CO molecule are mentioned only briefly. Most of the chapter is devoted to a survey of computational methods.

The book is clearly written and is mostly free from typographical and conceptual errors. There are not many figures and only a few worked examples (from zero to three per chapter). There are some exercises within the chapters, called “Points of Further Understanding.” There are also a few items called “Chemical Connections,” in which the student is introduced to a chemical application of the topic at hand. The end-of-chapter problems seem to be well chosen, but are few in number (only four to 14 problems per chapter).

The book could serve as the text for part of a two-semester physical chemistry course if an instructor is willing to adopt Mueller’s approach. Because of its brevity, it could also serve as a text for part of a one-semester physical chemistry course. Additional sources would be required to fill in some of the details and to cover some of the omitted topics. It could also serve as a text for a refresher course in quantum chemistry for first-year graduate students in areas other than physical chemistry. If so used, it would provide new insights into the topics that Mueller discusses at length.

The ongoing publication, The Review of Natural Products Monograph System, is the culmination of years of work by professionals interested in providing a continuous update on all natural products and nutraceuticals being used by the public for various health purposes.

Formerly known as The Lawrence Review of Natural Products, The Review of Natural Products was one of the first and is still the only reference of its kind in medical literature. The editor, consulting editor, and advisory panel, have extensive experience in the field of natural product pharmacy and medicine. The Review of Natural Products includes more than 300 monographs published in a single volume loose-leaf format to facilitate monthly updates. Each monograph features scientific names, common names, botany or description of source, history, chemistry, pharmacology, toxicology, patient information, summary and references. The format provides pharmacists, physicians, nurses, and other health professionals with a quick, up-to-date, objective assessment of the latest legitimate medical and scientific studies on numerous natural products, including medically active foods (nutraceuticals). Attempts are made throughout the reference to remain scientifically objective and place weight on legitimate chemical, pharmacological, and clinical studies in reputable journals or Websites.

Other features include a list of natural product Websites, a list of herbal diuretics, a mushroom poisoning decision chart, a list of mushroom societies, national poison control centers, potential herb-drug interactions tables, and scientific and trade organizations related to natural products. There is a primary index (common and scientific names) as well as a comprehensive and useful therapeutic uses index.

Caution is advised in using combination herbal products and single botanical products. The Review of Natural Products is intended to provide the reader with scientific data on both the benefits and the risks of various products.

In summer 2004, The Review of Natural Products will be reissued. Each monograph will be reorganized into a new easy-to-scan format and will include a new quick-reference clinical overview box that includes uses, dosing pregnancy/lactation, drug-herb interaction, adverse reaction, and toxicology information.

It is hoped that this up-to-date and complete reference will continue to be useful for all whom it is intended. We encourage suggestions and comments to help us improve The Review of Natural Products for future editions.
