Organic chemistry: Biochemistry–amino acids, peptides, and polypeptide sequencing. Acid/base properties of amino acids. How to draw amino acids at various pHs. How to determine pI of a peptide; zwitterion. Acylation of the N-terminus; conversion of the C-terminus into an amide. Total acid hydrolysis (TAH). Sangers reagent and Dansyl chloride. Hydrazine (NH2NH2). Proteolytic enzymes–chymotrypsin, trypsin, thermolysin. A polypeptide sequencing problem This is a recording of a tutoring session, posted with the students permission.

Photosensitisers in Biomedicine
May 3, 2010 By Leave a Comment
Product Description
Photosensitisers in Biomedicine offers clear and comprehensive coverage of the many different photosensitiser types, including information on their many applications that now extend beyond anticancer therapy. These applications now include photoantimicrobial treatments not only in microbial disease, but also in the microbial resistance to conventional drugs, which is circumvented by photomicrobial action. The application of photoantimicrobials in biological fluids is also of considerable importance in the current era of HIV and is discussed in the book.
This text offers the most up-to-date coverage of photodynamic therapy including information on how photosensitisers have evolved within the field of cancer therapy and more recently antimicrobial research. There are few books on the market that take the approach of this text, as many are either conference based or focus on the chemistry of photosensitisers.
Photosensitisers in Biomedicine is clearly defined into three distinct parts beginning with a clear introduction to the various types of photosensitisers. The book then moves on to discuss the chemistry of photosensitisers and closes with their numerous applications, for example, photodynamic therapy, photodiagnosis, photodynamic antimicrobial chemotherapy (PACT) and other non-oncological applications such as optical, arterial plaques and stents.

Over a long and productive scientific career in biochemistry at University of Ottawa and McGill University in Montreal, Dr. Belleau carried out fundamental research on the chemistry of several groups of drugs effective in combatting infections and cancer. His highly creative work in the 1980s led to the discovery of 3TC (lamivudine), a medication which presently plays a key role in the therapy of AIDS. The same compound (lamivudine) is also active against the hepatitis B virus. In 1985 Dr. Belleau was instrumental in the founding of BioChem Pharma Inc., one of Canadas most successful producers of new pharmaceuticals. This firm brings great economic and scientific benefits to Canada, annually investing over 80 million dollars in basic and applied medical research.
