Protein kinases are enzymes that use ATP to phosphorylate other proteins, which results in the alteration of their functions. These are signaling enzymes, which are responsible for regulating signal transduction in multiple intracellular processes such as glycogen synthesis, hormone responses, ion transport, proliferation, apoptosis, metabolism, transcription and antibiotic resistance. There are more than 30 families of kinases, of which protein kinase family is the largest. A few examples of protein kinases include AMP-activated protein kinase (AMPK), calcium calmodulin dependent kinases (CAMK), AGC kinase, casein kinase 1 (CK1), CMGC kinases, tyrosine kinases (TKs), and receptor interacting protein kinases (RIPKs). AMPK affects some major physiological functions such as metabolic activity. AMPKs are also critical for regulating lipid metabolism, mitochondrial function, and carbohydrate metabolism. This book includes some of the vital pieces of works being conducted across the world, on various topics related to protein kinases. It will also provide molecular insights on protein kinases to the readers. The book will serve as a valuable source of reference for graduate and postgraduate students.

Alkaloids: Chemical and Biological Perspectives: Volume 12
Acronycine, a potent antitumor agent, was discovered in the bark of the small Australian Rutaceous tree, <i>Acronychia baueri </i>Schott. This new work presents a comprehensive survey of the isolation, structure determination, methods of synthesis, and the biological properties of acronycine, as well as an account of natural and synthetic analogues of acronycine, and their biological properties. <p/>Solanum alkaloids were reviewed in 1990 and this book surveys the new developments (isolation procedures, structural elucidation methods) and critically updates earlier reviews. <br>In addition it presents the interesting chemistry and synthesis of cyclopeptide alkaloids. These cyclopeptide alkaloids have been isolated from ascidians, sea hares, and cyanobacteria. <br>Also included are reviews of the use of the functionalized lactam, pyroglutamic acid, as a chiral template for the synthesis of alkaloids. <br>The second review examines the on-line coupling of capillary electrophoresis (CE) and mass spectrometry (MS) for the analysis of alkaloid mixtures. <br>Finally a review of oxygenated analogs of the alkaloid Marcfortine for their potent antiparasitic activity is included at the end of this work. <p/>Each chapter in this volume has been reviewed by at least one expert in the field. Indexes for both subjects and organisms are provided.
