Filling a gap in the chemical literature, this monograph provides a comprehensive overview of the fascinating and expanding field of cross-conjugated molecules, their chemistry, synthesis and properties. The editors are world leading scientists in the field, and have assembled a team of experts to discuss different classes of cross-conjuagted molecules, as well as the use of cross-conjugation for organic synthesis and applications in electronic systems and material science.

Endlich ein Handbuch, das einen umfassenden Überblick über das faszinierende und wachsende Feld der gekreuzt konjugierten Moleküle, deren Chemie, Synthese und Eigenschaften bietet.

Publishes research in all areas of the plant sciences.

Chemical cross-linking reagents have attained great practical use in industry as well as in basic research, and an understanding of their fundamental principles of reaction is paramount to their applications. With broad coverage of the development and application of these reagents, Chemistry of Protein Conjugation and Cross-Linking discusses the mechanism of reaction and allows you to put the theory into practice. The book offers an explanation of the underlying mechanism of chemical modification, surveys all the bifunctional reagents used in bioconjugation and cross-linking, and provides a review of practical applications of these reagents in various areas of biochemistry, molecular biology, biotechnology, nucleic acid chemistry, immunochemistry, and diagnostic and biomedical disciplines. It contains numerous examples and illustrations, plus step-by-step explanations to reaction procedures. It is an excellent introduction and a comprehensive reference about chemical modification.
