Elsevier Handbook of Biomolecules: Fundamentals, Properties and Applications

Handbook of Biomolecules: Fundamentals, Properties and Applications is a comprehensive resource covering new developments in biomolecules and biomaterials and their industrial applications in the fields of bioengineering, biomedical engineering, biotechnology, biochemistry, and their detection methods using biosensors. This book covers the fundamentals of biomolecules, their roll in living organism, structure, sources, important characteristics, and the industrial applications of these biomaterials. Sections explore amino acids, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, proteins, lipids, metabolites and natural products, then go on to discuss purification techniques and detection methods. Applications in biomolecular engineering, biochemistry and biomedical engineering, among others, are discussed before concluding with coverage of biomolecules as anticorrosion materials. Review A comprehensive overview of biomolecules, including the new developments of biomaterials and their industrial applications in many fields From the Back Cover <i>Handbook of Biomolecules: Fundamentals, Chemistry, Properties and Applications</i> is a comprehensive resource covering the new developments of biomolecules and biomaterials, and their industrial applications in the fields of bioengineering, biomedical engineering, biotechnology, biochemistry and their detection methods using biosensors. This book covers the fundamentals of biomolecules, their roll in living organism, structure, sources, important characteristics, and the industrial applications of these biomaterials. Biomolecules are the fundamental building blocks of living organisms, and range from small molecules to metabolites to large molecules such as proteins and carbohydrates. The book begins with a look at the fundamentals of biomolecules, including amino acids, carbohydrates, nucleic acids, proteins, lipids, metabolites and natural products, then goes on to discuss purification techniques and detection methods. Applications in biomolecular engineering, biochemistry and biomedical engineering, among others, are discussed before concluding with coverage of biomolecules as anticorrosion materials. The book is a valuable resource for chemists, biochemists and biochemical engineers working in academia and industry who need a comprehensive resource covering all aspects and applications of biomolecules.
