Advances in the Development of Artificial Metalloenzymes
Author: Tatjana N. Parac-Vogt
Publisher: Frontiers Media SA
ISBN: 2889631532
Category :
Languages : en
Pages : 167
Book Description
Reactions catalyzed by metalloenzymes have great potential for applications in the biotechnology and pharmaceutical industries. While only a few of these enzymes have yet been used in such applications, in the last few decades numerous efficient, selective, environmentally friendly and economical synthetic analogues have been described, including supramolecular, polymeric, nanoparticulate and lowmolecular- weight organometallic complexes, and metal organic frameworks. In this Research Topic, we present a collection of original research and review articles that show significant recent advances made in the rational design of such artificial metalloenzymes.

Advances in the development and application of deep eutectic solvents
Author: Maria Luisa Di Gioia
Publisher: Frontiers Media SA
ISBN: 283254455X
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 113
Book Description
The continuous effort to perform a more sustainable chemistry has led to the development of new materials that accomplish the principles of green chemistry. In this context, deep eutectic solvents (DESs) have arisen as a new generation of solvents that respond well to most of the characteristics that an ideal green solvent must possess: they are easy and cheap to prepare, stable, easy to handle (they show chemical stability, non-flammability and conductivity), separable from the reaction products, biodegradable and safe for both humans and the environment. At the same time, they show chemical-physical properties similar to ionic liquids, such as low volatility, conductivity and high solvent power. These characteristics mean that DESs are today classified as 2-st century solvents. DESs have been raising a lot of attention and a sharp increase of their applications in numerous sectors of chemistry: they are mainly used as alternative solvents and/or catalysts for various organic transformations including metal-catalyzed reactions, biotransformations, polymerization, in sample preparation and analytical techniques as well as in the design of pharmaceutical formulations and drug delivery systems.

Globalization and International Development
Author: H.E. Baber
Publisher: Broadview Press
ISBN: 1554810124
Category : Philosophy
Languages : en
Pages : 668
Book Description
This new anthology offers a wide selection of readings addressing the contemporary moral issues that arise from the division between the Global North and South—“the problem of the color-line” that W.E.B. Du Bois identified at the beginning of the twentieth century and which, on a scale that Du Bois could not have foreseen, is the problem of the twenty-first. The book is interdisciplinary in scope. In addition to standard topical essays in ethical theory by philosophers such as Anthony Appiah, Martha Nussbaum, and Peter Singer, it contains essays from economists such as Amartya Sen, Joseph Stiglitz, and Thomas DeGregori, as well as current empirical data from the World Bank, IMF, United Nations, and other sources.
