Objetivos generales: - aislar, purificar y caracterizar proteasas presentes en los frutos de Bromelia balansae Mez (Bromeliaceae) que luego podrán ser ensayadas sobre proteínas de uso en alimentación humana con el objeto de mejorar sus propiedades funcionales por hidrólisis parcial. Objetivos particulares: - obtener preparaciones enzimáticas crudas de Bromelia balansae Mez y determinar las condiciones óptimas para su conservación. - establecer la relación entre el grado de madurez de los frutos de Bromelia balansae Mez y su actividad proteolítica, contenido de proteínas y de azúcares. - caracterizar las preparaciones crudas en cuanto al efecto del pH, la temperatura, la fuerza iónica y el agregado de activadores e inhibidores, así como ensayar la actividad proteolítica frente a diferentes sustratos naturales y sintéticos. - purificar y caracterizar desde el punto de vista bioquímico la principal fracción enzimática obtenida de los frutos de Bromelia balansae Mez. - obtener hidrolizados parciales de diferentes proteínas; conocer el grado de hidrólisis obtenido y el perfil hidrolítico de sus productos por electroforesis y compararlos con los obtenidos empleando otras proteasas aisladas en nuestro laboratorio. - efectuar un estudio preliminar de las propiedades coagulantes de los extractos de Bromelia balansae Mez.

• Obra perteneciente a la innovadora serie 'Requisitos en Gastroenterología', que aborda de una manera muy concisa pero completa los conocimientos esenciales en gastroenterología y hepatología: fisiopatología, diagnóstico, diagnóstico diferencial y manejo y tratamiento basado en la evidencia de los distintos trastornos gastrointestinales, hepáticos y pancreáticos. Esta serie se compone de cuatro volúmenes interrelacionados, aunque cada uno de ellos se puede leer y entender perfectamente por separado. Cada volumen está profusamente ilustrado y contiene tablas y figuras que resaltan las características fundamentales de los distintos temas. El cuarto volumen de la serie, dedicado a la endoscopia y radiología gastrointestinal, revisa las principales áreas de los estudios de imagen en gastroenterología y hepatología, conocimiento de gran importancia para el especialista, ya que su empleo es fundamental en la práctica moderna de la gastroenterología, pues, sin la capacidad de diagnosticar la patología y la ayuda visual para tratarla definitivamente, no se podrían practicar muchos tratamientos ni aplicar el conocimiento que ha posibilitado los recientes avances en la ciencia básica.

Handbook of Endourology contains five focused, review-oriented volumes that are ideal for students and clinicians looking for a comprehensive review rather than a whole course. Each volume is easily accessible through eBook format.

Topics covered review both the endourological diagnosis and treatment of prostate, urethral, urinary bladder, upper urinary tract, and renal pathology. All chapters describe the most recent techniques, review the latest results, and analyze the most modern technologies.

In the past ten years, the field of endourology has expanded beyond the urinary tract to include all urologic minimally invasive surgical procedures. Recent advancements in robotic and laparoscopic bladder surgery make this one of the fastest moving fields in medicine.

As current textbooks are too time-consuming for busy urologists or trainees who also need to learn other areas of urology, this collection provides quick references and over 4000 images that are appropriate for fellows as well as those teaching in the field.

• Offers review content for urologists in training and “refresher” content for experts in endourology
• Explores new surgical techniques and technology through review-level content and extensive images of pathologies
• Includes over 500 images per volume; images taken from more than 4000 endourologic procedures performed annually at the editor’s hospital

Bioenergetics of Photosynthesis covers the transformation of energy in biological systems, with an emphasis on photosynthesis. The biochemical and biophysical aspects are given much focus in this book. The historical development of the concepts used in this book is reviewed. This reference also analyzes experimental data and their results.
This publication contains 12 chapters. The first chapter introduces the concept of photosynthesis. Then, the next chapter explores the relationship between chloroplast structure and function . Other concepts covered in this book include the primary events (energy transfer and light absorption), delayed light emission, and chlorophyll fluorescence. The mechanism of excitation energy, oxygen evolution, and chlorophyll fluorescence are also explained. Furthermore, this book discusses the electron transport pathway, primary acts of energy conservation in chloroplast membranes, and molecular organization of chlorophyll. Finally, it describes the relationship of the structure of chloroplast membrane to energy coupling and ion transport.
This book will be a good resource for students and researchers alike, especially in the fields of cell biology, plant physiology, biochemistry, and biophysics.
