Food and Nutritional Components in Focus

About the SeriesISSN:2045-1695

Editor-in-Chief

Victor Preedy,King's College London, UK

In the past three decades there have been major advancesin our understanding of the chemistry and function ofnutritional components. This has been enhanced by rapiddevelopments in analytical techniques and instrumentation.Chemists, food scientists and nutritionists are howeverseparated by divergent skills, and professional disciplines.Hitherto this transdisciplinary divide has been difficult tobridge. This series Food and Nutritional Components inFocus covers in a single volume the chemistry, analysis,function and effects of single components in the diet or itsfood matrix. Its aim is to bridge scientific disciplines so thatinformation becomes more meaningful and applicable tohealth in general.

Betaine bookChemistry, Analysis, Function and Effects

Victor Preedy, King's College London, UK

Betaine is widely distributed in plants and animals and has a role as an osmolyte and as a cofactorin methylation in liver metabolism. It has been shown to protect internal organs, improve vascularrisk factors and enhance performance. The growing body of evidence shows that betaine is animportant nutrient for the prevention of chronic disease. This volume will survey the currentstate of play in these and other areas of interest, including its role in one-carbon metabolism and

appropriate analytical techniques. Written by an expert team, this book provides a fascinating insightfor those with an interest in the health and nutritional sciences.

Fracking bookRon Hester, University of York, UK | Roy Harrison, University of Birmingham, UK

Fracking, the hydraulic fracturing of rock by pressurized liquid, was invented in 1947, and hadachieved commercial success by the middle of the 20th Century. The technique has the potentialto extract natural gas and oil which would otherwise be inaccessible by conventional drilling, but

is not without potential environmental impacts. Today fracking is applied to around 60% of all newoil and gas wells. As more countries replace fracking bans with regulation it is time to gain a betterunderstanding on the environmental issues surrounding this technology.

Geoengineering of the Climate System bookRoy Harrison, University of Birmingham, UK |Ron Hester, University of York, UK

Geoengineering seeks to reduce global warming by direct intervention of the Earths climatesystem either by removing carbon dioxide or managing solar radiation. Considered by theIntergovernmental Panel on Climate Change as largely speculative and unproven, the majority ofresearch to date has been conducted by computer modelling and laboratory testing. This volumeexamines the potential for geoengineering in detail, discussing the possible risks and side-effects ofvarious approaches to this third-way to tackle climate change.

Orphan Drugs and Rare Diseases bookDavid C Pryde, Pfizer Global Research and Development, UK | Michael Palmer, MedicinalChemistry Consultant, UK

Orphan drugs are designated drug substances that are intended to treat rare or orphan diseases.

More than 7000 rare diseases are known that collectively affect some 6-7% of the developedWorlds population, but individually, any single rare disease may only affect a handful of peoplemaking them unattractive for the biopharmaceutical industry to target. Providing an up-to-datemongraph, this book covers the basic science, drug discovery and regulatory elements behindorphan drugs.

Binding, Transport and Storage of MetalIons in Biological Cells bookWolfgang Maret, King's College London, UK |Anthony Wedd, University of Melbourne, Australia

The chemistry of metals is associated with many health matters, from its role in diseases suchas neurodegeneration, cancer and diabetes and the toxicological effects of non-essential metalions such as cadmium and arsenic, to its uses in therapeutic and diagnostic applications. Thisbook focuses on the molecular aspects of the ingress, transport, regulation and egress of bothessential and non-essential metal ions emphasising that chemistry controls the crucial nutrient andtoxicological properties. Structured around the periodic table, each chapter is written by a leadingexpert and documents a different element and its structural, chemical and biochemical role inbiological cells giving a logical structure for the comparison of properties. This is the first book tocombine the molecular features of metal ions in nutrition, toxicology and pharmacology at theresearch front level for students, postgraduates and researchers in academic and industry.

Almost 100 years have passed since Trautz and Lewis put forward their theories on collision theory.Today an understanding of molecular collisions is a key part of predicting, and understanding,chemical reactions. This book begins by presenting the various oversable aspects of scattering

processes, their relationship to other aspects, such as reaction rate constants, and the experimentalmethods to determine them. The quantum theory of elastic scattering is also described, along withthe semi-classic theories associated with it. Reactive scattering, in terms of classic and quantummechanics, is presented later. Written with postgraduates and newcomers to the field in mind, theauthor keeps mathematics to a minimum, guiding the reader to appendices and further reading togain a better undestanding of the mathematics involved.
