Dictionary Of Carbohydrates With Cd Rom

An easy-to-use reference source for all scientists working with carbohydrates, the Dictionary of Carbohydrates with CD-ROM, Second Edition builds on the success of its previous edition by providing a substantially increased number of compounds. The presentation is sharpened by a careful review of existing entries. With 24,000 compounds, it represen

Dictionary of Carbohydrates on CD-ROM provides chemical, physical, and structural data on 29,000 carbohydrates together with selected literature references. This electronic version of the renowned Chapman & Hall Dictionary of Carbohydrates offers complete coverage of : parent monosaccharides together with a full range of their derivatives, e.g. deoxy, aminodeoxy, and halogenodeoxy sugars disaccharides and their derivatives oligosaccharides, polysaccharides, and nucleosides glycoside antibiotics and other structurally unusual glycosides key carbohydrates used in modern synthetic methodology Dictionary of Carbohydrates on CD-ROM is fully text- and substructure-searchable, and contains easy-to-use drawing software. You can search rapidly through the entire database using browsable indices to find the exact information you need. Results can be easily transferred between text and substructure searching. System requirements: IBM 486 or higher compatible computer with 40MB hard disk (12MB free capacity), 4MB RAM, VGA Monitor (color), MS DOS 3.3 or higher, Windowsä 3.1 or higher or Windows 95, external or internal CD-ROM drive. (Will normally run to a lower performance standard on IBM 386 and/or less hard disk and RAM capacity than those stated above).

Dictionary of Carbohydrates print entries are listed in alphabetical order by entry name, name index, and molecular formula index. The data included in each entry includes:

The first of its kind, this dictionary defines more than 25,000 marine- natural products. It indexes each by chemical name, organism type, and compound type. Following a similar format to the Chapman & Hall Chemical Database, each entry includes biological source, chemical structure, physical properties, biological activity, and literature references. With an accompanying CD, this invaluable tool offers immediate access to information essential to the development of novel pharmaceuticals, pesticides, and marine anti-fouling agents derived from unique molecular structures of marine natural products.

Widely distributed throughout plant families, flavonoids give many flowers and fruits their vibrant colors. They also play a role in protecting the plants from microbe and insect attacks. More importantly, the consumption of foods containing flavonoids has been linked to numerous health benefits. Recent research indicates that flavonoids can be nutritionally helpful by triggering enzymes that reduce the risk of certain cancers, heart disease, and age-related degenerative diseases. Foods that contain high amounts of flavonoids include blueberries, red beans, cranberries, and blackberries. Many other foods, including red and yellow fruits and vegetables and some nuts, as well as red wine and certain teas are also rich in flavonoids. Due the potential health benefits, research into flavonoids and their potential beneficial effects on human health continues unabated. Dictionary of Flavonoids with downloadable resources lists all known flavonoids (approximately 13,000) in a single volume. It details chemical structures, physical properties, and biological source, and also includes a concise bibliography. Derived from the well-respected Dictionary of Natural Products, it is presented in a compact dictionary format, and is an invaluable reference source for all those working in this area. The book is accompanied by downloadable resources that are fully searchable by chemical structure as well as by physical properties and chemical names. Organized in alphabetical order, each page is packed with authoritative information that readers can easily access. The book and downloadable resource combination gives researchers powerful tools for unlocking and utilizing the secrets held within the colors of the plant kingdom.

While some of the most commonly investigated- and most notorious- chemicals in the world are alkaloids, many modern medicines are also based on alkaloid structures. Chemists continue to explore new synthetic routes and alkaloid derivatives in search of drug candidates for fighting disease. Drawn from the venerable Dictionary of Natural Products, th

CHOICE Award Winner Since the first publication in 1995, the Organic Chemist’s Desk Reference has been essential reading for laboratory chemists who need a concise guide to the essentials of organic chemistry — the literature, nomenclature, stereochemistry, spectroscopy, hazard information, and laboratory data. The past fifteen years have witnessed immense growth in the field of chemistry and new discoveries have continued to shape its progress. In addition, the distinction between organic chemistry and other disciplines such as biochemistry and materials science has become increasingly blurred. Extensively revised and updated, this new edition contains the very latest data that chemists need access to for experimentation and research. New in the Second Edition: Rearranged content placed in a logical progressive order, making subjects easier to find Expanded topics from the glossary now presented as separate chapters Updated information on many classic subjects such as mass spectrometry and infrared, ultraviolet, and nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy New sections on chiral separations and crystallography Cross references to a plethora of web information Reflecting a 75% revision since the last edition, this volume is a must-have for organic chemists and those in related fields who need quick and easy access to vital information in the lab. It is also a valuable companion to the Dictionary of Organic Compounds, enabling readers to easily focus in on critical data.

Written by the team that brought you the prestigious Dictionary of Natural Products (DNP), the Natural Products Desk Reference provides a concise overview of the key structural types of natural products and their interrelationship. A structurally diverse group, ranging from simple aliphatic carbon chains to high molecular weight proteins, natural p
