Hydroponische Hanfzucht für Diplom-Biologe Peter May

Vorbemerkung
Dieses Handbuch befaßt sich mit der Hydroponik, d. h. der Pflanzenzucht mit hydroponischen Systemen(Hydrokulturen).
Diese Systeme sind für die Kultur sehr vieler Nutzpflanzen geeignet, in diesem Buch liegt jedoch der Schwerpunkt auf der Nutzpflanze "Hanf". Wir wollen klarstellen, daß wir mit der Herausgabe dieses Buches nicht die Produktion und den Gebrauch verbotener Substanzen fördern wollen.

Machinery of Life by David S. Goodsell

The cell is the basic unit of life, but most of us have at best a fuzzy, low-power idea of how cells are put together and what they look like. "The microscopic world of molecules is separated from our everyday world by an insurmountable, million-fold difference in size," says David Goodsell. "I created the illustrations in this book to help bridge this gulf and allow us to look at the molecular structure of cells, if not directly, then in an artistic rendition." Goodsell has succeeded remarkably. His pictures, mostly line drawings, show the structures of crucial biochemicals and the boggling intricacy of their arrangement in living cells. "A few minutes' study may be needed to overcome the feeling of claustrophobia," said Nature, "but will reward the reader with a lasting impression of the density and complexity of this soup of life." --Mary Ellen Curtin

Protein Nanotechnology Protocols, Instrumentation and Applications by Tuan Vo-Dinh

La nanotecnología comprende la investigación y desarrollo de materiales y especies a una longitud que varía entre 1 a 100 nm.

El término nano deriva de la palabra griega que significa "miniatura".

Dimensionalmente 1 nm equivale a 0,000000001 m y para tener una imagen de tal tamaño sería como el de una molécula de benceno. Por lo tanto el término nanotecnología se refiere a las técnicas y métodos para el estudio, diseño y fabricación de cosas a escala nanométrica.

El concepto inicial de la investigación de sistemas materiales y biológicas a nanoescala data de hace mas de 40 años, cuando Richard Feynman presentó un artículo en el año 1959 en el encuentro anual de la American Physical Society en el Instituto de Tecnología de California. Este artículo titulado "There's Plenty of Room and the Bottom" es considerado como la primera mirada al mundo de los materiales, especies y estructuras a niveles nanométricos.

Gene Cloning & DNA Analysis by T. A. Brown

Avibert

A mediados del siglo diecinueve, Gregor Mendel formuló un conjunto de reglas para explicar la herencia de las características biológicas. La suposición básica de estas reglas es que cada propiedad heredable de un organismo está determinada por un factor llamado gen, el cual es una partícula física presente en la célula. El redescubrimiento de las leyes de Mendel en el año 1900, marcó el nacimiento de la Genética, ciencia que aspiró a entender lo que estos genes son y como actúan.

Genes VIII by Gene Lewin

Introduction
The hereditary nature of every living organism is defined by its genome, which consists of a long sequence of nucleic acid that provides the information needed to construct the organism. We use the term "information" because the genome does not itself perform any active role in building the organism; rather it is the sequence of the individual subunits (bases) of the nucleic acid that determines hereditary features. By a complex series of interactions, this sequence is used to produce all the proteins of the organism in the appropriate time and place. The proteins either form part of the structure of the organism, or have the capacity to build the structures or to perform the metabolic reactions necessary for life...

Enzymatic Reaction Mechanisms by Perry A. Frey and Adrian D. Hegeman

La enzimología es un campo vasto y multifacético que interrelaciona y estimula la investigación con otros campos periféricos por ejemplo, estructura de proteínas, espectroscopía, cristalografía de rayos X, ciencia de polímeros, biotecnología, plegamiento de proteínas, metabolismo celular, y regulación biológica.

Obviamente este libro no pretende cubrir todo el mundo de la enzimología ni mucho menos, sino que intenta aproximarse a todo lo que rodea al mecanismo químico de la catálisis enzimática.
