Chemical Biology of the Genome provides a comprehensive overview of essential concepts and principles of genomic and epigenomics dynamics as explored through the lens of chemical biology. Key examples and case studies illustrate chemical biology methods for study and analysis of the genome and epigenome, with an emphasis on relevance to physiological and pathophysiological processes and drug discovery. Authors and international leaders in biochemical studies of the genome, Drs. Siddhartha Roy and Tapas Kundu, adopt an integrated, interdisciplinary approach throughout, demonstrating how fast evolving chemical and mass-scale sequencing tools are increasingly used to interpret biochemical processes of the genome. Later sections discuss chemical modifications of the genome, DNA sequence recognition by proteins and gene regulation, GWAS and EpiGWAS studies, 3D architecture of the genome, and functional genome architecture. In-depth, discovery focused chapters examine intervention in gene networks using SiRNA/ShRNA, miRNA, and anti-miR, small molecule modulation of iPS, drug resistance pathways altered DNA methylation as drug targets, anti-miR as therapeutics, and nanodelivery of drugs. - Offers an interdisciplinary discussion of the chemical biology of the genome and epigenome, employing illustrative case studies in both physiological and pathophysiological contexts - Supports researchers in employing chemical and mass-scale sequencing approaches to interpret genomic and epigenomic dynamics - Highlights innovative pathways and molecular targets for new disease study and drug discovery

ISBN: 3030958957

The first book in the newly created book series, Computer-Aided Drug Discovery and Design, focuses on the computational aspects of early drug discovery, drug target identification, and validation. It revises current classical paradigms in target and phenotypic-based drug design with still ingrained approximations and concepts and discusses the research in the new network approach concept that include kinetic selectivity and metabolic analysis. Many often-overlooked approximations and concepts in drug discovery are fully covered. Drug Target Selection and Validation includes both introductory sections and research-based sections to be of use to both students and research scientists in drug discovery, design, kinetics and metabolic analysis. Pharmaceutical scientists, pharmaceutics, drug developers, pharmacologists, biomedical researchers in computer science, medicinal chemists, and precision medicine developers benefit from the information provided. The book concludes with a chapter on chemical and structural databases.

The focus of this textbook is on application, rather than pure knowledge transfer of the results of all chemical biological work (which would also be beyond the scope of a book). It gives the reader, through the specific selection of chemical biological techniques and concepts, the necessary tools to be able to develop new ways of thinking and thus new therapeutic options in the complex field of chemical biology and drug development. The stated aim of this book is to provide concrete solutions and inspiration to students, (post)graduate students, and experienced scientists at universities as well as in industry in their problems. After an introduction to the problems addressed by chemical biology in drug discovery, the three levels of molecular biology dogma: DNA, RNA and proteins and their role as drug targets serve as the common thread of this book. This book is a translation of the original German 1st edition Chemische Biologie by Marco F. Schmidt, published by Springer-Verlag GmbH Germany, part of Springer Nature in 2020. The translation was done with the help of artificial intelligence (machine translation by the service DeepL.com). A subsequent human revision was done primarily in terms of content, so that the book will read stylistically differently from a conventional translation. Springer Nature works continuously to further the development of tools for the production of books and on the related technologies to support the authors.

HYDROGEN SULFIDE Covers H2S interactions, methods of detection and delivery in biological environments, and a wide range of applications Research on hydrogen sulfide (H2S) spans diverse disciplines including chemistry, biology, and physiology. In recent years, new materials and approaches have been developed to deliver H2S and related reactive sulfur species in various clinical contexts. Although many biological pathways involving H2S are complex, all are governed by fundamental chemical interactions between reactive sulfur species and other molecular entities. Hydrogen Sulfide: Chemical Biology Basics, Detection Methods, Therapeutic Applications, and Case Studies provides the foundation required for understanding the fundamental chemical biology of H2S while highlighting the compound’s therapeutic potential and medicinal applications. This book covers key aspects of H2S chemical biology, including the fundamental chemistry of reactive sulfur species; the measurement, detection, and delivery of H2S in biological environments; and the therapeutic and medicinal uses of exogenous H2S delivery in various pharmacologically relevant systems. Throughout the text, editor Michael Pluth and chapter contributors discuss the opportunities and future of the multidisciplinary field. Provides approaches for delivering H2S with relevance to biological and therapeutic applications Describes complex interactions of H2S with bioinorganic complexes and reactive sulfur, nitrogen, and oxygen species Summarizes advances in available tools to detect, measure, and modulate H2S levels in biological environments, such as real-time methods for H2S fluorescence imaging in live cell and animal systems Helps readers understand known systems and make connections to new and undiscovered pathways and mechanisms of action Includes in-depth case studies of different systems in which H2S plays an important role Hydrogen Sulfide: Chemical Biology Basics, Detection Methods, Therapeutic Applications, and Case Studies is an important source of current knowledge for researchers, academics, graduate students, and industrial scientists in the fields of redox biology, hydrogen sulfide research, and medicinal chemistry of small biological molecules.
