In recent years, the use of bioconjugation as strategy for development of more specific and directed drugs has been widely researched. Tetrapyrrolic macrocycles are one of the most common families of organic compounds applied in medicinal chemistry, specifically for diagnosis and therapy. For optimization of their efficiency as therapeutic molecules, it is relevant to promote their linking to biomolecules capable of targeting altered cells. This work brings a new dimension to the literatur...

The incidence of multiple pregnancies has increased with the increasing use of assisted reproductive techniques. This super-specialty title intends to cover basic epidemiology, associated complications and management of multiple pregnancy. The aim of this book is to provide a comprehensive, up to date and an evidenced-based discussion of multiple pregnancy and recent advances in its management. The chapters are divided in such a way that all three trimesters are discussed separately with a...

The Organic Chemistry of Enzyme-Catalyzed Reactions is not a book on enzymes, but rather a book on the general mechanisms involved in chemical reactions involving enzymes. An enzyme is a protein molecule in a plant or animal that causes specific reactions without itself being permanently altered or destroyed. This is a revised edition of a very successful book, which appeals to both academic and industrial markets. - Illustrates the organic mechanism associated with each enzyme-catalyzed r...

Finally filling a gap in the literature for a text that also adopts the chemist's view of this hot topic, Professor Likhtenshtein, an experiencedauthor and internationally renowned scientist, considers different physical and engineering aspects in solar energy conversion.From theory to real-life systems, he shows exactly which chemical reactions take place when converting light energy, providing an overview of the chemical perspective from fundamentals to molecular harvestin...

Although many books exist on the subject of chiral chemistry, they only briefly cover chiral synthesis and analysis as a minor part of a larger work, to date there are none that pull together the background information and latest advances in one comprehensive reference work. Comprehensive Chirality provides a complete overview of the field, and includes chiral research relevant to synthesis, analytic chemistry, catalysis, and pharmaceuticals. The individual chapters in each of the 9 volume...
