Merck Manual 17ed (Centennial Edition)

This is serious stuff. The most widely used medical text in the world and the hypochondriac's bible, the Merck has the lowdown on the vast expanse of human diseases, disorders and injuries, as well as their symptoms and recommended therapy. It's intended for physicians and medical students, but though the type is tiny and the language technical, the Merck's a valuable volume for anyone with more than a passing interest in bodily ills.

Applied Therapeutics: The Clinical Use of Drugs

All the contributors are leading clinicians with many years of evidence-based care. As students progress through the text, they will learn the basics of common diseases and disorders and develop practical problem-solving skills for devising and implementing successful drug treatment regimens.

Color Atlas of Immunology

This is a pocket atlas flexibook. Complex processes are well-illustrated in clear images, that are not burdened with unnecessary details. Following an introductory part and a section on laboratory methods in immunology, the bulk of the book concentrates on the manifestations of immunological diseases in the human body, providing comprehensive capsule descriptions of all common immmune diseases.

CCDC GOLD Suite 4.12 - CADD Molecular Docking software

The GOLD Suite consists of the following packages: Hermes for 3D visualisation pre- and post-docking, interactive docking setup.Hermes is a 3D visualiser with particular emphasis on functionality for the analysis of protein-ligand interactions.GOLD for protein-ligand docking:GOLD is a program for calculating the docking modes of small molecules in protein binding sites and is provided as part of the GOLD Suite, a package of programs for structure visualisation and manipulation (Hermes), for protein-ligand docking (GOLD) and for post-processing (GoldMine) and visualisation of docking results. Hermes acts as a hub for many of CCDCs products, for more information please refer to the Hermes product page.GoldMine for post-processing of docking results:GoldMine is a tool for post-processing of GOLD docking results.
GoldMine can be used to combine and analyse several docking runs, e.g. docking runs carried out against different protein models may be combined within a GoldMine database and analysed for selectivity and specificity.Docking runs carried out using one protein model but scored using different scoring functions may also be combined and evaluated within a GoldMine database. GoldMine is provided as part of the GOLD Suite, a package of programs for structure visualisation and manipulation (Hermes), for protein-ligand docking (GOLD) and for post- processing (GoldMine) and visualisation of docking results.

Spectrometric Identification Of Organic Compounds

This book is characterized by its problem-solving approach with extensive reference charts and tables. First published in 1962, this was the first book on the identification of organic compounds using spectroscopy. Now considered a classic, it can be found on the shelf of every Organic Chemist. The key strength of this text is the extensive set of real-data problems in Chapters 8 and 9. Even professional chemists use these spectra as reference data. Spectrometric Identification of Organic Compounds is written by and for organic chemists, and emphasizes the synergistic effect resulting from the interplay of the spectra.

Molecular Biopharmaceutics

This is an introductory textbook on molecular biopharmaceutics. Molecular biopharmaceutics involves the study of drug absorption, transport and delivery at the molecular level. In particular, increasing knowledge of the molecular structure and function of membrane transporter proteins and the understanding that they play a significant role in drug transport across biological membranes has lead to growing interest in this area from the pharmaceutical industry. This emerging knowledge of membrane transporter proteins has implications for understanding drug disposition and in turn for the development of more effective drug delivery strategies.
The proposed text will provide an overview of the field of molecular biopharmaceutics, and will explain its importance in drug development. It will focus on describing the interplay between the chemistry of drug molecules and membrane transporters, and will guide researchers in setting up experiments that may help in understanding the mechanisms and kinetics involved in drug absorption, transport and delivery.

BRS Microbiology - Immunology

BRS Microbiology and Immunology is a popular volume in the Board Review Series for medical students. Written in a concise, flexible, outline format, this book is intended to cover topics most commonly tested on USMLE. Included are 300 to 500 review questions in the USMLE-style format, and a comprehensive examination. New to the revised Fourth Edition are completely updated content; questions written in vignette format; a page of color plates depicting staining methods; and more information on immunology, parasitology, and fungi.
