The complexity of biological systems has intrigued scientists from many disciplines and has given birth to the highly influential field of systems biology wherein a wide array of mathematical techniques, such as flux balance analysis, and technology platforms, such as next generation sequencing, is used to understand, elucidate, and predict the functions of complex biological systems.
Nature endows us with a treasure chest of Green Gold full of amazing 'redox-active' substances which interfere with numerous biological processes in our own body, in animals, bacteria, fungi and plants.
In May 1975 more than 50 scientists - research workers and clinician- from 12 countries spent three days at Titisee in the Black Forest discussing problems relating to lipid absorption and ways of promoting closer liaison in the field.
It is clear today that several prostaglandins play an important role in the regulation of many of the physiological events of the reproductive organs in the human.
The newcomer to the field of clinical chemistry is faced with the daunting prospect of understanding the ever increasing aspects of the subject: new techniques, tests, terminology, methods of diagnosing diseases and other advances which relate to clinical chemistry.
The rapid growth of specific protein estimations in the clinical laboratory over the last 10 years has been due to advances both in methodology and in the understanding of the role of the various plasma proteins in health and disease.
While the historic roots of clinical chemistry originate from the chemical sciences the growth of the subject has been dependent upon the poli- tical, social, economic and technologic national soil in which it has developed.
One of the central problems in the study of the mechanism of DNA-ligand interactions is the existence and nature of sequence specificity with respect to the base pairs of DNA.
