Chemical biosynthesis

This text on milk lipids is the second in a series entitled Developments in Dairy Chemistry, the first being devoted to milk proteins. The series is produced as a co-ordinated treatise on dairy chemistry with the objective of providing an authoritative reference source for lecturers, researchers and advanced students. The biosynthesis, chemical, physical and nutritional properties of milk lipids have been reviewed in eight chapters by world experts. However, space does not permit consideration of the more product-related aspects of milk lipids which play major functional roles in several dairy products, especially cheese, dehydrated milks and butter.

By analogy to the terms co- and posttranslational modifications of peptides and proteins to define these transformations in the in vivo biosynthesis, chemical manipulations at least theoretically can be carried out in a co- or postsynthetic manner. While nature exploits the sequence- and even conformation-dependent regioselectivity of enzymes to expand the molecular and functional diversity of peptides and proteins beyond the genetic code,P l synthetic chemical reactions are insufficient for the required selectivity even with the most advanced conjugation techniques. Therefore, the tactics usually employed involves a cosynthetic approach, i.e. synthesis of polypeptide chains with annino acid derivatives or...

The main object of this chapter is to review the biosynthesis, chemical synthesis and metabolism of the prostaglandins and to summarise their principal types of biological activity. In the biological sections, attempts have been made to draw attention to the variation of the type of activity with structure, a feature of particular interest in this series which is of fundamental relevance to consideration of clinical utility. A number of other reviews [8-13] and publications based on symposia [14-17] give much material which receives only brief or incidental reference here and these are quoted in the appropriate sections below. 

In this Volume, the policy of publishing reviews written by specialists concerned with the development and study of new drugs has been continued. We have included chapters covering the fields of pesticides, antibiotics, antivirals antifertility agents, and anti-malarial compounds. In addition, the biosynthesis, chemical synthesis and metabolism of the prostaglandins have been reviewed. The changes made in Volume 7 of the series have permitted reviews to appear in print sooner than has been achieved in the past. 

LACTAM ANTIBIOTICS - deals with the chemical and biochemical aspects of the -lactam antibiotics. Topics selected include the synthesis, biosynthesis, chemical reactivity, anti-microbial activity, pharmacodynamics, metabolism, toxicology, detection and analysis, and pharmaceutical applications of the penicillins, cephalosporins, and related compounds. 

As introduced in Chapter 1, the present chapter constitutes Assertion 4 The Applications Assertion of the book. Production and purification are first addressed, as they obviously make up the initial enabling steps in moving toward applications of any materials. The most surefooted path toward materials applications of protein-based polymers, however, intertwines issues of production and purification through a combination of the two methods of preparation—chemical synthesis and biosynthesis. Chemical synthesis proved the biocompatibility of elastic protein-based polymers and therefore opened the door to medical applications. Demonstration of the biocompatibility of the chemically synthesized product made clear the purification required of elastic protein-based polymers produced by E. coli if unlimited medical applications were to be possible. Chemical synthesis also provided a faster route to diverse polymer compositions, which allowed...

The determination of the ee value can be used to detect aromatization with a synthetic chiral aroma substance because in many cases one enantiomer is preferentially formed in the biosynthesis of chiral aroma substances (examples in Table 5.13). In contrast to biosynthesis, chemical synthesis gives the racemate which is usually not separated for economic reasons. The addition of an aroma sub-...
