Chemical biology utilizes chemical principles to modulate systems to either investigate the underlying biology or create new function. Over recent years, chemical biology has received particular... More > attention of many scientists in the life sciences from botany to medicine. This book contains an overview focusing on the research area of protein purification, enzymology, vitamins, antioxidants, biotransformation, gene delivery, signaling, regulation and organization. Particular emphasis is devoted to both theoretical and experimental aspects. The textbook is written by international scientists with expertise in synthetic chemistry, protein biochemistry, enzymology, molecular biology, drug discovery and genetics many of which are active chemical, biochemical and biomedical research. The textbook is expected to enhance the knowledge of scientists in the complexities of chemical ...< Less
In Synthetic Soviet, Tamara Semenova weaves a story of family and intrigue during the late Brezhnev and short Andropov years. Times were difficult with a shortage of goods as the government focused... More > on the cold war. Letters from friends, children, and her grandson depict characters that resonate. Much more than a tale, the reader plummets into the morass of a failing system and its secret biological weapons development.
The intrigue that develops between these people and others involved in possible restructuring and in the biological arsenal holds the reader’s interest. Moore brings all of this together in the end with a highly plausible and surprising conclusion.< Less

When looking at Laugier’s Primitive hut, it shows mankind’s desire to build as well as to feel comfortable and safe from the primitive world. As we moved further away from shelter that... More > was built of the earth, we became disconnected from architecture. Additionally, architectural theory became stagnant in a synthetic, postmodern world that has just started to enter into the digital era. If architecture is to find its place in the ever-expanding digital world, it must bridge the gap between the natural world and the digital world. Architecture must innovate digital tools of design and analysis to derive flexible and organic forms that can sustain a dialogue between nature and humanity. Architecture should be the catalyst that synthesizes a harmony between man and nature.< Less

Biology is shifting from its data-poor origins to a quantitative data, high-throughput regime. Accompanying this change is an increasing technical capacity to engineer biological constructs.
This... More > book is about theory in this new context for the Life Sciences.
Three articles, each preceded by an explanatory introduction, are presented. They propose:
• A framework for prediction in this new data-rich regime.
• A theory on the systemic nature and hematopoietic origin of Parkinson's Disease.
• An approach to engineering design in the biological context, in particular in Synthetic Biology.< Less
