Laboratory Experiments For General, Organic and Biochemistry

PREFACE :

The 48 experiments in this well-conceived manual illustrate important concepts and principles in general, organic, and biochemistry. As in previous editions, three basic goals guided the development of all the experiments: (1) the experiments illustrate the concepts learned in the classroom; (2) the experiments are clearly and concisely written so that students will easily understand the task at hand, will work with minimal supervision because the manual provides enough information on experimental procedures, and will be able to perform the experiments in a 2 1/2-hour laboratory period; and, (3) the experiments are not only simple demonstrations, but also contain a sense of discovery. This edition includes many revised experiments.

The organic codes : an introduction to semantic biology

PREFACE :

The genetic code appeared on Earth with the first cells. The codes of cultural evolution arrived almost four billion years later. These are the only codes that are recognized by modern biology. In this book, however, Marcello Barbieri explains that there are many more organic codes in nature, and their appearance not only took place throughout the history of life but marked the major steps of that history. A code establishes a correspondence between two independent 'worlds', and the codemaker is a third party between those 'worlds'. Therefore the cell can be thought of as a trinity of genotype, phenotype and ribotype. The ancestral ribotypes were the agents which gave rise to the first cells. The book goes on to explain how organic codes and organic memories can be used to shed new light on the problems encountered in cell signalling, epigenesis, embryonic development, and the evolution of language.

Mass Spectrometry : Principles and Applications

PREFACE :

The latest edition of a highly successful textbook, Mass Spectrometry, Third Edition provides students with a complete overview of the principles, theories and key applications of modern mass spectrometry. All instrumental aspects of mass spectrometry are clearly and concisely described: sources, analysers and detectors. Tandem mass spectrometry is introduced early on and then developed in more detail in a later chapter. Emphasis is placed throughout the text on optimal utilisation conditions. Various fragmentation patterns are described together with analytical information that derives from the mass spectra.
This new edition has been thoroughly revised and updated and has been redesigned to give the book a more contemporary look. As with previous editions it contains numerous examples, references and a series of exercises of increasing difficulty to encourage student understanding. Updates include: Increased coverage of MALDI and ESI, more detailed description of time of flight spectrometers, new material on isotope ratio mass spectrometry, and an expanded range of applications.

The quantum in chemistry: an experimentalist's view

PREFACE :

This book explores the way in which quantum theory has become central to our understanding of the behaviour of atoms and molecules. It looks at the way in which this underlies so many of the experimental measurements we make, how we interpret those experiments and the language which we use to describe our results. It attempts to provide an account of the quantum theory and some of its applications to chemistry.
This book is for researchers working on experimental aspects of chemistry and the allied sciences at all levels, from advanced undergraduates to experienced research project leaders, wishing to improve, by self-study or in small research-orientated groups, their understanding of the ways in which quantum mechanics can be applied to their problems. The book also aims to provide useful background material for teachers of quantum mechanics courses and their students.

Objectif prépa chimie : Pour bien démarrer sa prépa

Avant-propos

Vous venez d’obtenir le bac et vous vous destinez à des études scientifiques. Cet ouvrage ne ressemble pas à vos manuels de lycée, ni à ceux que vous utiliserez par la suite. Il est destiné à vous aider à franchir ce cap difficile.

Son objectif est double : assurer les bases qui vous permettront de profiter au mieux de l’enseignement que vous allez suivre et vous familiariser avec les problèmes que vous allez aborder et avec les méthodes que vous allez devoir acquérir. Il vous sera également utile tout au long de votre première année d’enseignement supérieur, l’index placé en fin d’ouvrage vous permettant de retrouver rapidement le détail qui vous aurait échappé.

Notre expérience d’enseignants, tant au lycée qu’en classes préparatoires, nous a permis de répertorier les principales difficultés sur lesquelles un grand nombre d’étudiants débutants achoppent.

Nous y avons porté une attention particulière : il est important d’avoir des idées claires sur les fondements d’une discipline avant d’en aborder les aspects plus complexes.

Chaque chapitre est découpé en trois parties :
• Un rappel des connaissances essentielles acquises au cours de vos études secondaires, intitulé « Essentiel ». Il se peut que vous soyez parfois surpris par la forme de ces rappels. Nous avons en effet regroupé en un ou deux chapitres l’essentiel des connaissances acquises sur un thème donné (structure de la matière, réactions d’oxydoréduction, chimie organique,…) depuis la classe de Seconde. Nous avons plus particulièrement insisté sur les savoirs et les savoir-faire indispensables à la réussite d’études supérieures scientifiques. Si vous les lisez attentivement, vous vous rendrez compte que ce sont effectivement des rappels.

• Une première série d’exercices, intitulée « Pour faire le point ». Ces exercices devraient pouvoir être résolus sans grande difficulté par un élève qui a correctement assimilé la chimie enseignée au lycée. Ils vous permettront de tester et de consolider vos connaissances de base.

• Une deuxième série d’exercices, intitulée « Pour aller plus loin ». Bien qu’ils n’utilisent que les connaissances vues au lycée, ces exercices constituent une initiation aux méthodes que vous allez devoir utiliser dans l’enseignement supérieur. Ils requièrent en général une plus grande rigueur dans l’analyse du système étudié et une plus grande maîtrise des concepts. Il est normal que vous n’arriviez pas à tous les résoudre sans effort ! En les cherchant avec méthode, puis en étudiant les solutions proposées, vous vous familiariserez avec les exercices qui vous seront proposés par la suite.

 Les énoncés sont en général suivis de « Conseils ». Commencez par essayer de résoudre le plus de questions possibles sans regarder les conseils. Ensuite, vous pouvez utiliser ces conseils. Enfin, si vous ne trouvez toujours pas, regardez la solution. L’essentiel n’est pas la solution en elle-même, mais les méthodes qui ont permis d’y parvenir. Lisez donc très attentivement les solutions et les remarques qui les complètent : il vaut mieux faire peu d’exercices bien compris que d’en survoler beaucoup. Il ne nous reste qu’à vous féliciter de votre choix pour des études scientifiques et à vous souhaiter de les mener avec succès..

Student Companion to Accompany Biochemistry 5th Edition

   

PREFACE :

 

Opening a comprehensive biochemistry text for the first time can be a daunting
experience for a neophyte. So much detailed material is presented that it
is natural to wonder if you can possibly master it in one or two semesters of
study. Of course, you can’t learn everything, but experience indicates that you
can, indeed, learn the fundamental concepts in an introductory biochemistry
course. We have written this Student Companion for Biochemistry to ease your
entry into the exciting world of biochemistry.

Your goal is to “know” and “understand” biochemistry. Unfortunately,
awareness of these grand goals offers no practical help in reaching them, because
they are such high-level and complex intellectual processes. In addition,
it is difficult for you to know to what extent you have attained them. We have
found that, by subdividing these goals into simpler ones and expressing them
in terms of demonstrable behaviors, you can begin to approach them and, in
addition, can readily assay your progress toward reaching them. Thus, a part
of each chapter consists of Learning Objectives that ask you to do things that
will help you to begin to understand biochemistry. When you can master the
objectives, you are well on your way to learning the material in the chapter.
It is important to add a cautionary note here. Being able to respond to all the
objectives adequately does not mean that you know biochemistry, for they are
a limited sampling of all the possible objectives; more to the point, they do
not explicitly require such higher-level activities as creation, analysis, integration,
synthesis, problem-solving, evaluation, application, and appreciation.
These more advanced skills will develop to varying levels as you continue your
studies of biochemistry beyond the introductory stage.

The organic codes: an introduction to semantic biology

The genetic code appeared on Earth with the first cells. The codes of cultural
evolution arrived almost 4 billion years later. These are the only codes that are
recognised by modern biology. In this book, however, Marcello Barbieri explains
that there are many more organic codes in nature, and their appearance not only
took place throughout the history of life but marked the major steps of that history.

A code establishes a correspondence between two independent “worlds”, and
the codemaker is a third party between those “worlds”. Therefore the cell can be
thought of as a trinity of genotype, phenotype and ribotype. The ancestral ribotypes
were the agents which gave rise to the first cells.

The book goes on to explain how organic codes and organic memories can be
used to shed new light on the problems biologists encounter in cell signalling,
epigenesis and embryonic development. A mathematical model is presented to
show how embryos can increase their own complexity by the use of a code and a
memory.

This fascinating book will be of interest to all biologists and anyone with an interest
in the origins and the evolution of life on Earth.
