Book Description

The 48 experiments in this well-conceived manual illustrate important concepts and principles in general, organic, and biochemistry. As in previous editions, three basic goals guided the development of all the experiments: (1) the experiments illustrate the concepts learned in the classroom; (2) the experiments are clearly and concisely written so that students will easily understand the task at hand, will work with minimal supervision because the manual provides enough information on experimental procedures, and will be able to perform the experiments in a 2 1/2-hour laboratory period; and, (3) the experiments are not only simple demonstrations, but also contain a sense of discovery. This edition includes many revised experiments.

Fundamental Laboratory Approaches for Biochemistry and Biotechnology

ASIN: 0195078977

Book Description

The quantitative and informational characteristics of today's biomedical sciences have evolved so rapidly that students and scientists will increasingly use computers for calculation, sequence analyses, model-building, and testing hypotheses. The computer age has required biomedical workers to learn the steps involved in solving biomolecular calculations and to understand the theoretical basis of experimental procedures. This text does more than provide a catalog of biochemical calculations; in addition to showing how to perform certain calculations, it emphasizes mastery of basic theoretical and laboratory biomedical principles through the choice of topics and the inclusion of many review questions and problems. It has four sections, each with an interdisciplinary theme depicting the types of procedures used by practicing biomedical scientists. Some topics discussed may be found in textbooks of biology, general chemistry, mathematics, biochemistry, immunology, physical chemistry, statistics, or computer science. Whenever possible, recent applications of the procedures and computations in clinical, academic, industrial, and basic research laboratories are cited. This text also provides theoretical background and spreadsheet solutions in selected areas of the biomedical sciences and reflects the thinking, methods, instruments, and experimental strategies of today's practicing biomedical scientists. Ideal for upper level undergraduates and graduate students taking courses on laboratory methods and techniques in departments of biological sciences, biochemistry, biophysics, and molecular biology, and it may also serve as a guide for graduate students and laboratory assistants in a broad range of biomedical research activities.

Book Description

Antisense technology is a powerful procedure that permits the controlled silencing of a specific gene for investigations of mRNA and protein function. This valuable text provides proven step-by-step protocols for antisense techniques in a range of different organisms and cell culture systems. In addition it discusses the potential benefits and problems for various antisense methods which complement gene knock-out experiments. The book includes antisense techniques such as: analysis of nucleic acid structures; measurement and evaluation of antisense effects; selection, preparation and the use of antisense oligonucleotides; in vitro RNA transcription; construction strategies, testing and optimization of catalytic antisense RNAs based on hammerhead ribozymes; synthesis and evaluation of 2-5 A- antisense chimeras for targeted degradation of RNA. The application of these technologies are then described, with chapters on antisense techniques in IDictyostelium, plants and the medical uses and benefits of antisense sense technology both in vitro and in vivo. Finally, non-antisense effects of oligonucleotides, "anti-sense rescue", shotgun antisense mutagenesis, and in vivo, in vitro and in situ detection of sense:antisense duplexes by structure-specific anti-RNA antibodies are discussed. The numerous hints and tips for success and advice on trouble shooting, make this authoritative text invaluable to all those researchers who work on gene expression, RNA transcription, or protein function.

K. Eric Drexler envisions a world in which poverty and hunger no longer exist, because food can be made out of thin air, and we never grow old, because cells can be regenerated as swiftly as they "age." Nanotechnology, the manipulation of matter at the molecular level, is what he's betting will make it happen. Ed Regis tells the story of Drexler's forays into this new science, showing the scientist's attempts to convince his colleagues that he hasn't descended into pulp fiction. He also fills in a lot of the historical and technical background, from the 19th-century arguments over whether atoms exist to modern experiments that have isolated and manipulated single atoms. Regis's prose is clear and straightforward, but not without a sly sense of humor. Apart from Drexler's own Engines of Creation, this is the book on nanotechnology to read.

Eric Drexler -- where did you go?.......2006-09-12

I'm not sure how this book turned up in my reading list -- I believe I found it on the back shelf of a bookstore. I read it because I have been interested in Nano-stuff ever since reading a terrific science fiction novel by Stanislaw Lem long ago, and more recently Kurtzweil's new book -- The Spiritual Machine. Ed Regis writes in a well-informed pop journalistic style. His smoothly written narrative weaves together the many stories, names and achievements of nano-experts -- most notably Eric Drexler, the high priest of nanotech, who predicts an age when all of life's need will be satisfied by tiny, human-engineered molecular engines. Although bacteria are frequently invokes as examples of nanotech machines, Drexler's tiny molecular contraptions are remarkable in that they do not require water and function at a level even smaller than the familiar biochemical landscape of the living cell. Unfortunately, although Drexler has designed simple molecules that will probably work as simple tools, many questions remain unanswered. How are these devices powered? How are they built? What will they do? Even Richard Feynman confessed that he didn't have any ideas about real-world applications. Although the book is filled with ideas of Nano-robots swarming through our veins, fixing damaged brain cells, etc. -- almost all the real plan required to these microscopic things is just vaporware. In the end, vision is not knowledge, the map is not the territory, and I predict that the future will be far different from the magical nirvana that is envisioned here. The book make me better informed, and left many ideas buzzing around my head like tiny . . . well, never mind.

Well-written and fun, but there are better options. 3.6 stars.......2006-05-19

NANO was well-received when published, and I'd been half-
meaning to read it for awhile. Your reaction to this book may vary
depending on your previous exposure to the ideas behind
nanotechnology. For simplicity, I'll break down the possible
audience for this book:

1) You've heard the name, but what is it, exactly? SFAICT this is
Regis' intended audience. But you're better off reading K. Eric
Drexler's "Engines of Creation" (published 1986, several editions
available). Drexler et al's "Unbounding the Future" (1991) is in
essence the YA edition of "Engines" -- you don't need both, and
"Engines" is better-written and more interesting. Really, "Engines"
is the seminal work for the field and the best starting place. You may
want to start by browsing Dr. Drexler's website first:
foresight[dot]org --which has lots of good information.

2) You've read "Engines", maybe some of Drexler's other stuff, and
have a fair idea what nanotech's about (this is me): Part I of Nano
will be a rehash with a few new anecdotes. A quick skim. Part II has
quite a bit of interesting newish material. Part III, the philosophical
wrapup, is embarassingly jejeune.

3) You're a molecular nanotechnologist: you saw this book AWB,
glanced at it, and dismissed it.

Note that my copy has truly wretchedly-printed photos.

Happy reading--

More biography than scientific review.......2005-03-31

This book is a pretty good account of K. Eric Drexler and his quest to bring "nanotechnology" into the popular and the scientific world. If you are looking for a book with some real theory behind it, this may not be the book for you. There is some science, but it's pretty light. You may want to get some of the books in the bibliography or something. As the book explains, part of the reason that real science on nanotechnology is hard to find is because it hasn't been widely researched yet. This book is somewhat balanced between Drexler's vision and his critics', but it usually errs on Drexler's side. To be fair to the reader, this book really should say that it's really more of a study of K. Eric Drexler than of nanotechnology.

A Pretty Good Introduction For Knuckleheads.......2005-01-16

I liked this book because it introduced me to the who, what, where, when, how and why of Nanotechnology. It gave me lots of history, written in a "See Spot Run" kind of style for scientific knuckleheads who just might be poets or other kinds of humanities types trying to hedge their bets by seeing what the techheads are up to--and it introduced me to one major concept that I still chew on: Quantum physics doesn't necessarily pertain to things like the nanotech bull-doggings of incredibly tiny bits of matter that folks like Eric Drexler like to plan and execute. In other words, it really is possible to know where a sub-atomic particle is in space--or at least know where it is in such a way that you can catch the little bugger and hitch it up to some itsy bitsy fly wheel, or tack it to a slice of silicon one or two atoms long and an atom wide, or etc. I find that idea of the pure "fact" of existence existing--as in granuals, or other discrete units--relatively untouched by Schrodinger's uncertainy principal or the other Alice in Wonderland paradoxes that we've all been taught to expect when we approach the very very very small--refreshing, to say the least. Indeed, I thought the microcosm was hide-bound in theory and that it somehow merged with some Princeton prof's blackboard if we followed it to the far side of the sideways eight, but to know that it is really THERE beyond all of that jazz, puts a smile on my face and a spring in my step. Makes me hope that the far reaches of the Macrocosm can be found to exist in the same way without silly string, dark matter and black holes. What a refreshing thought to look up at the night sky and not think of Stephen Hawking's career! The other concept that I took away from this book was that nanotechnology could be pretty dangerous stuff and that--wouldn't you know it?--it's already being explored by the governments of the world as a better way of killing people. So I was given a reason to cheer and yet another reason to think the world is on its way to hell in a handbasket. Not bad for 325 pages of easy-to-read type.

An exciting introduction to a weak theory.......2002-10-29

The purpose of this book is to introduce the reader to an argument supported by nanotechnologists: that nanotechnology will cause world peace.

"Nano" is defined as "one billionth" and a nanotechnologist is a person who achieves practical results by means of "a factory at the level of atoms" (p. 7). Regis explains how a factory composed of parts measured in billionths of a meter or nanometers would work."...(M)olecules would be stacked on tiny pallets which would move about on tiny tracks. There would be molecular conveyor belts and rollers, vacuum pumps and ball bearings" (p. 7).

Invented by K. Eric Drexler and developed by Stanford researchers, the infant technology is expected to bring universal peace. The nanotech argument is a conditional: if a physical thing is merely an arrangement of atoms, then manipulating an arrangement of atoms is the means of creating new things. Drexler states the argument succinctly: "If you have this very general ability to manipulate atoms in complex patterns...well, then you can make essentially anything that's physically possible" (p. 48). Given that the argument may be valid, it is no wonder that nanotechs are dreaming of manufacturing "so many material goods so cheaply that people would have every physical thing they wanted" (p. 6).

Because the premise is unjustified the nanotech dreams are only dreams. While we may correctly state that every material thing is an arrangement of atoms, we must drop the term "merely" from the conditional's antecedent. Rearranging the atoms of a mineral will not cause it to become a plant just as rearranging the pens on my desk does not make them pencils. These common observations contradict Regis' premise that "the properties of a given object...were a function of the arrangement of its atoms and molecules" (p. 5). It is more accurate to state that the properties of an object in the natural environment are a function of the object's arrangement of atoms and something else. What that "something else" is remains mysterious to contemporary scientists and make life much more exciting than the dry view presented in this text.

The nanotech argument presented by Regis is very attractive but unfortunately has no force. The hope for universal peace cannot be realized by "a fleet of tiny, invisible robots" which would "do all the world's work", eradicate "disease and aging" and "turn dirt into steak"(pp. 4, 6) Despite the logical shortcomings in their argument, nanotechs have two qualities that are, in my view, necessary for bringing about world peace: enthusiasm and creativity.

Book Description

This remarkable book by one of the great writers of our time includes essays on a proposed universal language, a justification of suicide, a refutation of time, the nature of dreams, and the intricacies of linguistic forms. Borges comments on such literary figures as Pascal, Coleridge, Cervantes, Hawthorne, Whitman, Valéry, Wilde, Shaw, and Kafka. With extraordinary grace and erudition, he ranges in time, place, and subject from Omar Khayyam to Joseph Conrad, from ancient China to modern England, from world revolution to contemporary slang.

Borges is at his best in this stunning collection of essays. " A meeting in a dream" is a masterpiece, a beautiful essay on love by one known more for being metaphysical than romantic. The rest of the essays sparkle as well. WOnderful!
