Books in the Baker Lecture Series series

This text provides students and researchers with a complete view of reactions at solid surfaces, how chemistry works at surfaces, and how to understand and probe the dynamics of surface reactions. It provides an authoritative self-contained introduction to surface reactions by a leader in the field of surface science.

An introduction to underlying principles and experimental procedures using the newest strategies and techniques for obtaining extensive NMR assignments in biopolymers based on NMR data and the primary structure.

Deals with basic principles of asymmetric catalysis focusing on its synthetic significance. Covers homogeneous asymmetric hydrogenation, asymmetric catalysis via chiral metal complexes, heterogeneous catalysis and non-organometallic catalysis.

Commencing with several examples of integrated chemical systems and analogies between man-made systems and biological ones, this study presents an elementary general treatment of the techniques available for the construction and characterization of such systems.

Advances in laser technology over the last 10-15 years have stimulated study of the active control of quantum molecular dynamics. Lasers may used to generate external fields of varying intensity, phases, and spectral content, which then are used to alter the molecular dynamics of a system so as to generate more of a particular product.

Designed as a learning tool for those with limited background in quantum mechanics, this book provides comprehensive coverage of angular momentum in quantum mechanics and its applications to chemistry and physics.

An exploration of the principles and methods underlying the Human Genome Project and modern molecular genetics and biotechnology.
