peptidase, while enzymes of the cathepsin class can be demonstrated by a combination of existing methods with suitable activators and inhibitors. Another valuable feature of this book is the detailed appendices on the different methods of preparing tissues. Each is written in a careful step-bystep fashion and contains preparations, methods, and result. Also, pertinent and extensive bibliographi...

Studies of several retinal analogs and the rhodopsin pigments incorporating them, lead to further clarification of the structural requirement of the retinal chromophore in the photoactivation process of rhodopsin. The data with a pigment incorporating an acyclic retinal show that the cyclohexene moiety is not required for formation of a stable pigment, which, however, has a reduced photoactivit...

Tbe term cloud chemistry is considered bere to comprise both cloud composition and reactions that take place in clouds. Clouds are a very special subset of tbe atmosphere because they present substantial amounts of condensed-phase water (liquid or solid) that can dissolve gases that would otherwise be present in the gas phase, and, as a consequence of condensed-phase reactions, pennit reactions...

This Thematic Series is dedicated to the memory of Professor Peter Hofmann (Figure 1) whose research work included many seminal contributions to the field of organometallic chemistry [1-3]. Organometallic chemistry has therefore been chosen as the topic of this Thematic Series of the Beilstein Journal of Organic Chemistry. Over a period of many decades, the chemistry of metal–carbon bonds has g...
