While drug therapies developed in the last 50 years have markedly improved the management of some types of cancers, treatment outcomes, and drug side-effects for the most common types remain unacceptable. However, recent technological advances are leading to improved therapies based on targeting distinct biological pathways in cancer cells. Chemistry and Pharmacology of Anticancer Drugs [...]
This book is primarily intended for post-graduate students of science, but is simple enough for an undergraduate student to understand. Every chapter begins with simple concepts related to the topic of the chapter, and gradually Quantum Mechanical and Group Theoretical treatments are introduced for a deeper understanding. I have tried to keep the language simple [...]
Organic chemistry is the branch of chemistry in which covalent carbon compounds and their reactions are studied. A wide variety of classes of compounds such as vitamins, drugs, natural and synthetic fibers, as well as carbohydrates, peptides, and fats consist of organic molecules. Organic chemists determine the structures of organic molecules, study their various reactions, [...]
This textbook is a treatment of reaction mechanisms for organic chemistry students at the advanced undergraduate and graduate level. Knowledge of reaction mechanisms is essential to all applied areas of organic chemistry. Knowledge of reaction mechanisms is essential to all applied areas of organic chemistry; this text fulfils that need by presenting the right material [...]
The warm reception accorded to the fourth edition of Elementary Organic Spectroscopy and its subsequent reprints has provided me a great deal of encouragement to present the fourth edition of this book. The subject-matter presented in the book is sufficiently comprehensive and the knowledge gained through it will make easy to identify an unknown compound. [...]
This edition retains both the underlying philosophy and the overall structure of its predecessor. The emphasis is on fundamental, universal principles, which apply across a wide range of macromolecular systems. The text is intended for students in a variety of fields, especially those identified above, with the assumption of prior courses in organic and physical [...]
As always, Harper’s Illustrated Biochemistry continues to emphasize the close relationship of biochemistry to the understanding of diseases, their pathology, and the practice of medicine. With the retirement of long-time contributor David A. Bender, Prof. Owen P. McGuinness of Vanderbilt University has joined as a new coauthor. In addition to the fresh perspectives and novel [...]
