Book SynopsisCurrent techniques for studying biological macromolecules and their interactions are based on the application of physical methods, ranging from classical thermodynamics to more recently developed techniques for the detection and manipulation of single molecules. Reflecting the advances made in biophysics research over the past decade, and now including a new section on medical imaging, this new edition describes the physical methods used in modern biology. All key techniques are covered, including mass spectrometry, hydrodynamics, microscopy and imaging, diffraction and spectroscopy, electron microscopy, molecular dynamics simulations and nuclear magnetic resonance. Each method is explained in detail using examples of real-world applications. Short asides are provided throughout to ensure that explanations are accessible to life scientists, physicists and those with medical backgrounds. The book remains an unparalleled and comprehensive resource for graduate students of biophysics and Trade ReviewReview of first edition: '… a valuable contribution to the field. … There is nothing quite like it at the moment.' Sir Tom Blundell FRS, University of CambridgeReview of first edition: … one of the most comprehensive and highly relevant texts on biophysics that I have encountered in the last 10 years, clearly written and up-to-date … a must-have for biophysicists working in all lines of research …' Nikolaus Grigorieff, Brandeis University, MassachusettsReview of first edition: '… a wonderful up-to-date treatise on the many and diverse methods used … in the fields of molecular biophysics, physical biochemistry, molecular biology, biological physics and the new and emerging field of quantum nanobiology.' Karl J. Jalkanen, Quantum Protein Centre, Technological University of DenmarkReview of first edition: '… a valuable resource for novice and seasoned biophysicists alike.' Dan Minor, California Institute for Quantitative Biomedical Research, University of CaliforniaReview of first edition: '… the book I consult first when faced with an unfamiliar experimental technique. Both classic analytical techniques and the latest single-molecule methods appear in this single comprehensive reference.' Philip Nelson, University of Pennsylvania and author of Biological PhysicsReview of first edition: '… valuable both for students and research scientists.' Michael G. Rossmann, Hanley Professor of Biological Sciences, Purdue UniversityReview of first edition: 'A great achievement … awaits the student who reads this book … an excellent reference for the seasoned practitioner of biophysical chemistry.' Milton H. Werner, The Rockefeller UniversityReview of first edition: 'This well written, thorough, and elegantly illustrated book provides the connections between molecular biophysics and biology that every aspiring young biologist needs.' Stephen H. White, University of California at IrvineReview of first edition: '… I enthusiastically recommend Methods in Molecular Biophysics to anyone who wishes to know more about the techniques by which the properties of biological macromolecules are determined.' David Worcester, University of MissouriReview of first edition: 'A book that teaches the methods well, creates the intellectual framework of our understanding, and can guide the field. Earlier efforts by Cohn and Edsall, Tanford, Edsall and Wyman, and Cantor and Schimmel have served this important purpose in the past, but the advance of time and technology has diluted the force of these classic works in contemporary Biophysics, both in the teaching and the practices of the field. How welcome, then, a clearly written, thoughtful and modern text that will serve well, both in formal courses and as a reference. The authors have built each method from its fundamental premises and principles, have successfully covered an impressive span of topics, and will be rewarded by attention from an audience that hungers for the next defining text in Molecular Biophysics.'

Book SynopsisThe idea that a long-lived form of spin order, namely singlet order, can be prepared from nuclear spin magnetisation first emerged in 2004. The unusual properties of singlet order–its long lifetime and the fact that it is NMR silent but interconvertible into other forms of NMR active order—make it a ‘smart tag’ that can be used to store information for a long time or through distant space points. It is not unexpected then, that since its first appearance, this idea has caught the attention of research groups interested in exploiting this form of order in different fields of research spanning from biology to materials science and from hyperpolarisation to quantum computing. This first book on the subject gives a thorough description of the various aspects that affect the development of the topic and details the interdisciplinary applications. The book starts with a section dedicated to the basic theories of long-lived spin order and then proceeds with a description of the state-of-the-art experimental techniques developed to manipulate singlet order. It then concludes by covering the generalization of the concept of singlet order by introducing and discussing other forms of long-lived spin order.Table of ContentsLong-lived States in Nuclear Magnetic Resonance: An Overview; Symmetry and Long-lived Spin Order; Relaxation Theory of Long-lived Spin Order; Design and Synthesis of Molecules Supporting Long-lived Spin Order; Manipulation of Singlet Order by Field-cycling; Manipulating Singlet Order by Chemical Reactions; Manipulating Spin Order by J-synchronised Echo Schemes; Manipulating Singlet Order by Spin-lock Induced Crossing; Manipulating Singlet Order with Adiabatic Pulses; Filters for Long-lived Spin Order; Converting Spin Order from Singlet to Heteronuclear Magnetisation; Long-lived States-based Determination of Ligand Affinity for a Target Protein; Applications of Singlet Order to the Study of Biomolecules and Molecular Interactions; Singlet-assisted Exchange NMR Spectroscopy; Singlet-assisted Diffusion NMR; Q-space Singlet NMR; Long-lived Singlet State: From NMR Quantum Information Perspectives; Singlet Spin Order Originating from Para-H2; Long-lived Spin Order Coupled to SABRE; Long-lived Coherences; Long-lived Spin Order in Methyl Groups; Long-lived Spin Order in CH2D Groups; Singlet Order in Heteronuclear Spin Systems

Book SynopsisDiscover what biological imaging is able to accomplish in this up-to-date textbook One of the fundamental goals of biology is to understand how living organisms establish and maintain their spatiotemporal organization of the biochemical, cell biological and developmental biology processes that sustain life. Biological systems are inherently complex with a large number of components needed to sustain cellular function. In order to understand any complex system, one must determine its composition by identifying the components it is made of, how each of these components function and carry out their specific task, and how they interact with one another to function together. To grasp the link of such changes to physiological cell and tissue function and/or pathogenesis/disease progression, we need to understand how modifications alter macromolecular function, macromolecular interactions, and/or spatiotemporal distribution and overall supramolecular structural organization. Biological imaging holds the key to understanding spatiotemporal organization, and will thus be increasingly important for the next generations of biological and biochemical researchers. Introduction to Biological Imaging provides the first comprehensive textbook surveying this subject. It elucidates the fundamental principles underlying the capture and production of bioimages, the requirements of image analysis and interpretation, and some key problems and solutions in bioimaging. It includes everything experimental biologists need to incorporate appropriate bioimaging solutions into their work. Introduction to Biological Imaging readers will also find: Coverage of all major types of biological imaging, including medical imaging, cellular imaging, macromolecular imaging, and moreAdvice on preparing samples for various imaging methodsSpecific examples in each chapter connecting bioimaging process to the production of real experimental data Introduction to Biological Imaging is a valuable introduction for undergraduate or graduate students in courses relating to bioimaging, as well as scientists and researchers in the biological and medical fields who want a one-stop reference for the full range of imaging techniques.

Book SynopsisRecent studies demonstrated the utility of advanced imaging techniques including 3D CT collision modelling, MRI 3D reconstruction and 3D fluoroscopy in hip surgery. Collision modelling including software based on a CT scan and 3D fluoroscopy are able to predict the specific zone of femoral-acetabular impingement and are useful tools to plan the bone resection in preserving hip surgery. Furthermore, they may be helpful for the evaluation of acetabular coverage in hip dysplasia and may predict the amount of correction needed during a periacetabular reorientation osteotomy. On the other hand, CT based prototyping and the custom 3D-printed implants have emerged as new options to address severe bone loss or compromised anatomy. Although, there is little published literature so far, the interest for this technology in hip arthroplasty is growing. Patient and defect-specific implants are designed from CT images and then may be printed via a 3D model or may generate into a one-piece product. Those solutions may be helpful in primary arthroplasty: first, they may be used in a complex case where a standard implant may not be easy to be performed because of the alteration of the bone structure; eventually, they may be used in oncologic cases where a great amount of bone should be resected. Custom implants find indications also in revision arthroplasty, where the bone loss is important. In fact, the resulting precision-fit of the implant to the remaining patients bonestock minimizes the need for more bone resection to fit an off-the-shelf product. Locking screw configurations may be planned preoperatively to obtain the most efficient purchase in the existing bone. Furthermore, by combining angiography from the planning CT, locking screw trajectory can be planned so as to maximize a fixation whilst minimizing vascular risk.

Book SynopsisCongenital malformations of the heart are often dismissed as a form of complex heart disease, which is too difficult to understand, and is best referred to the specialists. The authors of this handbook, however, aim to dispel this myth. The advent of cross-sectional and, more recently, three-dimensional echocardiography, enables the structural malformations to be visualised virtually non-invasively. Without a thorough understanding of the arrangement of cardiac structures, interpretation of these images can be very frustrating, not to mention having to cope with difficult terminology. Contrary to popular belief, however, the reader does not require any knowledge of cardiac embryology in order to understand the morphology of a malformed heart.This book takes the reader through the subject in a straightforward fashion, beginning with recognition of the normal cardiac chambers, progressing through the process of analysing the layout of the chambers in a sequential way, and then dealing with the more common cardiac defects in turn. Each chapter deals with the anatomical arrangement illustrated with diagrams and complemented with echocardiographic images of the most important cross-sections. The text is succinct, and is accompanied by numerous diagrams and cross-sectional echocardiographic images of the highest quality. The most common defects are described chapter by chapter, emphasising the salient anatomical features.
