Subject index biological processes

The General Subject Index links subject terms, such as reactions, processes and equipment, classes of substances, and biochemical and biological subjects, including plant and animal species, with their corresponding CA abstract numbers.

The taste sensor will be applicable for quality control in food industry and help automation of the production. The sense of taste is vague and largely depends on subjective factors of human feelings. If we compare the standard index measured by means of the taste sensor with the sensory evaluation, we will be able to assess taste objectively. Moreover, the mechanism of information processing of taste in the brain as well as the reception at taste cells will also be clarified by developing a taste sensor which has output similar to that of the biological gustatory system. 

Previous editions of Selective Toxicity have been well received, and translated into German, Italian, Japanese, and Russian. This new edition, which reviews the literature up to September 1984, has been thoroughly revised to reflect current awareness of the subject. Many additions have been made, some of them quite substantial, but all blended into the original framework. There are new sections on drugs that influence the immune process, on inhibitors based on the transition state of the molecule, and on IMBIs, which are the irreversible mechanism-based inhibitors. There are new taxonomic tables of bacteria and protozoa, and an index of the 650 structural formulae used in the text. A new section (17.4) provides help in searching for the physical and biological properties of drugs, whether in compilations (books) or in computerized databanks.
