Enzymes and DNA Recombinant Technology by
Enzymes represent one of the most fascinating and meaningful entities in the biological world. In the fields of genetic engineering and recombinant DNA technology, enzymes serve as vital tools. Enzymes acting as biological catalysts have been known to all of us since our primary education. Nonetheless, learning about enzymes at the graduate level can be difficult by a lack of comprehension of the principles and a misunderstanding of the terminology employed in enzymology. This book has been written to augment the understanding of enzymology among graduate and postgraduate students. The author of this book has extensive experience teaching enzymology and has proven and admired competence in the field. Balanced text, well-illustrated concepts, and an organized stepwise ascent of the topics are key features of this book. Besides fundamentals, this book also covers some of the emerging areas of enzymology, such as enzyme immobilization, reversible covalent modification, and proteolytic activation. This book not only provides information for enzymologists but also does so in a manner that will also aid non-enzymologists in making proper use of these biocatalysts in their research. This book consists of a detailed discussion of key concepts of enzymology, enzyme kinetics, modes of enzyme regulation, isozymes, enzyme immobilization, DNA cloning, and genome editing. Difficult concepts have been simplified with analogies and examples. Furthermore, this book's material aligns with the majority of university curriculum and exams, both domestically and internationally. Key Features: Written in a simple and understandable language; Covers fundamental concepts; Presents information in an easily accessible format to serve as a quick reference source; A concise write-up for addressing dullness while going through it; Provides essential basics as well as up-to-date information on enzymes and their use in recombinant DNA technology, and genome editing.
Foundations of Stream and River Ecology: A Guide to the Classic Literature by
For students and practitioners, a comprehensive primer on the key literature in stream and river ecology. The study of streams and rivers combines ecology, chemistry, hydrology, and geology to reveal factors that control the biological diversity and functioning of these unique ecosystems. Although stream ecology is a relatively young discipline, foundational papers published over the past half-century have shaped our current understanding of these ecosystems and have informed our efforts to manage and protect them. Organized thematically, each chapter of this book--on topics including the physical template, communities, food webs, ecosystem energetics, and nutrient dynamics--offers summaries of the key literature, history and context on the topic, and forward-looking discussions that examine how past research has influenced current studies and may shape future efforts.

Stress Biology in Photosynthetic Organisms: Molecular Insights and Cellular Responses by
This book explores the intricate mechanisms underlying the stress responses of phototrophs, which play a critical and foundational role in shaping and sustaining life on Earth. The photoautotrophic entities encounter a spectrum of natural and anthropogenic stresses, inducing a multitude of responses at the physiological, biochemical, genetic, and developmental levels. The comprehension of how these phototrophs adeptly counter stressors transcends mere scientific pursuit; it stands as an essential endeavor for predicting their adaptability in an ever-evolving world and, crucially, for conserving our delicate ecosystems. The book will shed light on the sophisticated interplay of stress signaling pathways and the nuanced engagement of stress-responsive hormones within these life forms. Furthermore, it unveils the cryptic genetic and epigenetic controls dictating stress-related gene expression, yielding profound insights into the enduring recollection of their responses to environmental challenges. This book is an essential read for researchers, educators, and students alike. It offers a comprehensive panorama of stress biology, unveiling the innermost mechanisms at play within photosynthetic organisms discussing their resilience and adaptation.
