Many who have taught chemistry (general, organic, biochemistry) from a traditional book invariably believe that the book would be better if it had a different organization or different conceptual framework. Few can truly cover the extent of information found in these encyclopedic tomes. All textbooks within a specialty area of chemistry have the same topic orders as well. Biochemistry Online: An Approach Based on Chemical Logic was written, in part, to deal with issues of topic order and conceptual framework. The rationales for adoption of this framework for the teaching of the first semester of a biochemistry course have been published in the manuscript below. ... [Information of the supplier]

eQuilibrator is a simple web interface designed to enable easy thermodynamic analysis of biochemical systems. eQuilibrator enables free-text search for biochemical compounds and reactions and provides thermodynamic estimates for both in a variety of conditions. Estimation of thermodynamic parameters (ΔrG and ΔfG) elucidates how much energy is required to drive a particular biochemical reaction and in which direction the reaction will flow in particular cellular conditions. Because experimental measurement of the free energy of formation (ΔfG°) of compounds is technically challenging, the vast majority of known metabolites have not been thermodynamically characterized. eQuilibrator uses a well-studied approximation of ΔfG called group contribution, enabling thermodynamic analysis of many biochemical reactions and pathways. Currently, eQuilibrator can provide estimates for many compounds in the KEGG database(about 4500). Individual compounds and enzymes can be searched for by their common names ("water", "glucosamine", "hexokinase"), and reactions can be entered in a simple, free-text format ("ribulose bisphosphate + CO2 + water => 2 3-phosphoglycerate") that eQuilibrator parses automatically. eQuilibrator also allows manipulation of the conditions of a reaction - pH, ionic strength, and reactant and product concentrations - to help explore the thermodynamic landscape of a biochemical reaction. eQuilibrator is a project of the Milo Lab at the Weizmann Institute in Rehovot, Israel. ...

The Biochemical Society promotes the advancement of the Molecular Biosciences, representing the interests of all those working in the sector. The Society recognises that the discipline of “Biochemistry” now encompasses the entire breadth of Cellular and Molecular Life Sciences and this is reflected in the range of our activities and our strapline – “Advancing Molecular Biosciences”. We also believe that we are part of a Bioscience community with a proliferation of learned societies with whom we work to foster a community of Bioscientists, thereby delivering our mission more effectively. The Biochemical Society is one of four owner societies working together at Charles Darwin House to strengthen the voice of Biology and create a national hub for our subject. Our belief is that Biology is made stronger through collaboration that brings together the diverse skills, opinions and expertise of individual member Societies. This is the principle that underpins Charles Darwin House. ... [Information of the supplier]

It is our pleasure to host the International Congress of Comparative Physiology and Biochemistry in 2015 in Kraków, Poland (ICCPB2015). Congress meetings have been successfully organized every 4 years since 1983. ICCPB2015 in Kraków will be already our 9th meeting. We hope it will attract open-minded biologists who are interested in building integrated views of organisms: 'From Molecules to Macrophysiology'. We hope that the atmosphere of the congress in Kraków will be especially stimulating. Kraków with its medieval architecture offers endless opportunities for inspiration and unconventional thinking. It is exactly here, at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków, where Nicolaus Copernicus started his scientific education that finally led him to his revolutionary ideas that challenged old models of the universe. ...

Protein interactions are a common theme spanning molecular and cell biological processes in biomedicine and biotechnology that underpin many areas of research. The Irish Area Section of the Biochemical Society (IASBS) Annual Meeting for 2015 brings together a range of Irish and international speakers to stimulate fresh perspectives and novel avenues of research for the molecular biosciences. Integrated with the meeting will be a special workshop on Education and Outreach activities showcasing expertise and ideas, and following the meeting is a one day Young Life Scientists symposium organised by and for postgraduate and early stage researchers. Session Themes: Chromatin and gene regulation, Cell signalling, Proteins as biomaterials, Modelling of protein interactions, Translational perspectives, Education and outreach. ...

The FEBS Congress aims to provide an outstanding international forum in the European area for the face to face exchange of knowledge and ideas across the molecular life sciences. The core scientific programme comprises inspiring plenary lectures from distinguished researchers working in areas of high topical interest, and a range of themed symposia providing focused updates from leading experts in each field. The contribution of participants towards the scientific discussion at the event is encouraged by the opportunity to present work through extensive poster sessions, and submitted abstracts may also be considered for oral presentations. ...

Tetraspanins are membranes proteins involved in every aspect of cell-cell interaction, including adhesion, fusion, differentiation and extracellular vesicle production. As the principal components of a type of membrane microdomain, they have therapeutic and diagnostic potential in a wide range of diseases and new imaging techniques are beginning to reveal the fine detail of these microdomains and their biophysical properties. In this Focussed Meeting, the roles of tetraspanins in cancer, development, infection and immunity will be highlighted. In addition, the role of tetraspanins in the formation and function of extracellular vesicles will be explored and an optional half-day workshop will be held, providing hands-on experience of vesicle purification and characterisation. ...
