New Comprehensive Biochemistry

Transport of secretory proteins into the mammalian endoplasmic reticulum can bevisualized as a sequence of various steps which include membrane association, mem-brane insertion and completion of translocation. I t turns out that this transportdepends on the hydrolysis of nucleoside triphosphates at various stages: (i) There isa GTP requirement in ribonucleoparticle-dependent tra...

Editor Note – Biochemistry & Analytical Biochemistry

Biochemistry is the study of structures, functions and interactions of biomolecules, such as carbohydrates, nucleic acids, proteins, lipids, etc. and their metabolisms. Advancements in biochemistry helps in the advancement of different fields like agriculture, medicine, nutrition, etc., which are directly related to it. Combination of biochemical techniques with techniques and ideas of genetics...

Biochemistry and clinical pharmacology of new anticoagulant agents.

New anticoagulants have been designed using advances in the biotechnology and the biochemistry of the clotting factors. They are classified according to their target or their mechanism of action (AT-dependent or AT-independent). Antithrombotic activity after oral administration is another important property. This abstract is restricted to the synthetic pentasaccharide and the ximelagatran/melag...

New Data on the Functional Biochemistry of the Brain

Hallmarks of a new era in mitochondrial biochemistry.

Stemming from the pioneering studies of bioenergetics in the 1950s, 1960s, and 1970s, mitochondria have become ingrained in the collective psyche of scientists as the "powerhouses" of the cell. While this remains a worthy moniker, more recent efforts have revealed that these organelles are home to a vast array of metabolic and signaling processes and possess a proteomic landscape that is both h...
