The book gives an insight into the thorough study and examination of incumbent biosystems, their present status and disruption in their integrity, causes and effects, measures to be taken for their characterization and restoration apart from advances and applications in the field of biosciences, drug design, discovery, bio-systems, biomedical and drug delivery technologies, tools in particular. The book collates information from several disciplines, such as chemistry, biology, material science, engineering, statistics, biomedicine, genetics, etc., as the subject in question is a confluence of many disciplines exhibiting numerous applications such as bioimaging, novel biological agents, synthesis, discovery testing, characterization of drugs right from selecting a suitable precursor to discovering and designing a drug following a correct synthetic route, adoption of computer simulation-based models, AI/ML-based models, application of statistical tools in analyzing and interpreting data, design, multi-functional, and operational drug delivery systems, their bio-compatibility, capacity of carrying and release of drug reproducibly etc. The book is helpful to postgraduate students, research scholars, academicians, and scientists from the pharmaceutical, biotechnology, and chemical engineering domains. The book covers a conceptual understanding of the exploration of drugs in unity with the applications desired, sound bio-system development, and carriers for drug and supplement delivery.

This book provides a comprehensive survey of coded optical imaging. Illustrated with 386 figures, it takes readers from the fundamental concepts and theories to the latest research and applications in this field. It can be used in graduate-level courses in optics and photonics. It can also benefit scientists and engineers in optical imaging, computer graphics, and other related disciplines. This book starts from a brief history of coded optical imaging and key operations in its data acquisition and image reconstruction. It then presents the latest progress in technological development and applications in the areas of biomedicine, materials science, industrial inspection, optical physics, imaging science, information theory, and more. Chapters describe the most representative techniques, exposing readers to key research themes, including: · Optical signal encoding · Image reconstruction techniques · Compressed sensing · Artificial intelligence · Metasurface · Structured light · Lensless imaging · Holography · Tomography · Light-field imaging · Utrafast imaging · Hyperspectral imaging · Polarization imaging · Super-resolution imaging

Molecular chaperones are critical to control protein quality in all living cells. Understanding chaperone function at the atomic level, and in particular its mode of interaction with client proteins, is crucial to understanding the fundamental roles chaperones play in biology. This book fills a gap in the literature by comprehensively summarizing and discussing new advanced experimental techniques for their analysis. Providing a comprehensive overview of advanced biophysical methods for the characterization of molecular mechanisms of molecular chaperones, the majority of the contributions are NMR methodology. This is the method of choice for atomic resolution studies of such systems. Additional notable biophysical approaches are considered to present all relevant current developments in exploring chaperone function and the transient and dynamic interactions with their client proteins. The book is targeted at both current practitioners of structural biology and biophysical chemistry and scientists who are interested in entering the field. It could be useful for graduate students as supplementary reading.
