Encyclopedia of Biological Chemistry
by
ISBN: 9780124437104Publication Date: 2004-11-24Written for a broad, cross-disciplinary audience, the Encyclopedia of Biological Chemistry addresses the fundamental discipline of biological chemistry underlying virtually all of the life sciences. This compilation of more than 500 different entries encompasses all aspects of biochemistry, as well as the extensions of this subject into the related fields of molecular biology, cell biology, genetics and biophysics. This comprehensive encyclopedia covers all areas of biological chemistry written by more than 500 selected international experts. Articles are generously illustrated including more than 800 images in four-color. Each entry contains a clear, concise review of the topic along with illustrations, a glossary of technical terms and a section for additional reading. Each entry further contains general background and term definitions as well as a comprehensive review of the current research in the field. Students, science journalists and scientists seeking a concise introduction to specific topics will appreciate the clear, tabular format of each entry.Also available online via ScienceDirect - featuring extensive browsing, searching, and internal cross-referencing between articles in the work, plus dynamic linking to journal articles and abstract databases, making navigation flexible and easy.

Wiley Encyclopedia of Chemical Biology
by
ISBN: 9780470048672Publication Date: 2008-03-24The Wiley Encyclopedia of Chemical Biology is an authoritative new work whose goal is to illuminate the crucial role of chemistry and chemical techniques in the life sciences. The encyclopedia will adopt an inclusive editorial approach, encompassing fundamental and blue-sky science as well as those areas of research that have more immediate medical or commercial applications. The scope and structure of the work will reflect the multidimensional character of chemical biology, focusing in particular on the fundamental science of biological structures and systems, the use of chemical and biological techniques to elucidate that science, and the applications of this knowledge in areas as diverse as drug discovery, sensor technology, and catalysis. Major topics areas covered in the encyclopedia: Chemical Views of Biology Biomolecules within the Cell Chemistry of Biological Processes and Systems Chemical Biology of Cellular Compartments Synthetic Molecules as Tools for Chemical Biology Technologies and Techniques in Chemical Biology Applications of Chemical Biology

Kyoto Encyclopedia of Genes and Genomes (KEGG)The primary objective of KEGG is to computerize the current knowledge of molecular interactions; namely, metabolic pathways, regulatory pathways, and molecular assemblies. At the same time, KEGG maintains gene catalogs for all the organisms that have been sequenced and links each gene product to a component on the pathway. KEGG also organizes a database of all chemical compounds in living cells and links each compound to a pathway component. And finally, KEGG aims at developing new bioinformatics technologies toward functional reconstruction. In addition, the KEGG site has a good collection of links to other biochemical Web resources.

Methods in EnzymologyThe name of this immense -over 700 volumes (and growing) - series underestimates the breadth and depth of its coverage. While it contains excellent review articles on methods of all kinds, especially in enzymology, its articles frequently explore the functions of the substrates the enzymes act on. You can browse the volumes's Tables of Contents, or search by keyword within the entire series or any individual volume.

BRENDA: The Comprehensive Enyzme Information SystemBRENDA is the main collection of enzyme functional data available to the scientific community. t is available free of charge for academic, non-profit users via the internet. As available, each enzyme has data on nomenclature, reactions and specificity, structure, isolation and preparation, stability and cross-references to sequence databanks. Although BRENDA gives a representative overview on the characteristics and variability of each enzyme the Handbook is not a compendium. The reader will have to go to the primary literature for more detailed information.
