Marine Proteins and Peptides: Biological Activities and Applications

Se-Kwon Kim (Editor) — Mon, 13 May 2013 04:00:00 GMT

Food proteins and bioactive peptides play a vital role in the growth and development of the body’s structural integrity and regulation, as well as having a variety of other functional properties. Land animal-derived food proteins such as collagen and gelatine carry risks of contamination (such as BSE). Marine-derived proteins, which can provide equivalents to collagen and gelatin without the associated risks, are becoming more popular among consumers

Encapsulation Nanotechnologies

Mass Spectra of Designer Drugs 2013

Peter Rösner — Mon, 06 May 2013 04:00:00 GMT

Compounds classified as "Designer Drugs" have been synthesized for several decades. This is not a precise scientific term and should only be applied to those drugs that are synthesized from common chemicals and skillfully marketed under attractive, often exotic names.

Because of many designer drugs are novel or designed to evade detection, they can be overlooked or difficult to detect or characterize. The last decade has seen a proliferation of such
