Analytical techniques are powerful tools in a chemist's armoury.
Spectroscopic data and chemical information are used routinely in
laboratories to follow a chemical reaction or elucidate a chemical
structure. However, the sophistication of the analytical techniques
used changes rapidly, hence the routinely used method of today can
all too readily be superseded by the new technology of tomorrow.
More Modern Chemical Techniques identifies some applications of the
important chemical techniques in use today that are less well known
in schools and colleges and which illustrate how chemistry is using
state-of-the-art technology to push back the frontiers of the
subject. Examples include: elemental analysis such as atomic
absorption spectrometry and inductively coupled plasma techniques;
separations including electrophoresis, structure determination (eg
x-ray diffraction and optical microscopy); and sampling and sample
preparation.
Four years ago the first international symposium dealing with
neural transplan- tation was organized as a satellite conference to
the annual meeting of the Society for Neuroscience in Los Angeles,
California. The expanded proceed- ings of that symposium were
published by Springer-Verlag in 1983 in a volume entitled Neural
Tissue Transplantation Research. We were sufficiently pleased with
the results ofthat effort to organize a second satellite
international sympo- sium on Neural Transplantation and
Regeneration in conjunction with the 13th Annual Meeting of the
Society for Neuroscience in Boston in the fall of 1983. Paralleling
the growing body of research dealing with various aspects of neural
transplantation, the scope of this second symposium was broadened
to include not only transplantation but also regeneration.
Additionally, topics of clinical interest were addressed as weil as
issues ofbasic research. The promise apparent in that first
conference is still seen in the second as more and more
investigators apply their talents in an attempt to understand this
infant field of research. The present volume represents an expanded
version of the material presented at the second symposium. We wish
to thank all ofthe contributors to the conference and to this
volume for their insight and their assistance.

Nucleic Acids describes the way in which the fundamentally
important biological activities of these molecules can be
understood in terms of their chemical structures. The book focuses
on the chemistry of the deoxyribonucleic acids (DNA) and
ribonucleic acids (RNA). However, because nucleic acid chemistry
cannot be fully understood without some knowledge of the underlying
biology, a substantial amount of the background biology is also
included. Beginning with a concise review of the biological roles
of nucleic acids, the text then discusses the components from which
they are made, and works up through nucleosides and nucleotides to
the covalent structures of the nucleic acids themselves. The double
helical structure of DNA and its implications for replication are
then described. This is followed by a detailed treatment of the
chemistry of the processes by which the information encoded in DNA
is expressed in terms of the amino acid sequences of proteins. The
final chapter describes modern tools of DNA analysis and how they
have been used in a range of recent applications such as gene
cloning, genome sequence analysis, and DNA fingerprinting. Although
targeted specifically at undergraduate chemistry students, Nucleic
Acids will also be of interest to undergraduates studying
biochemistry. Ideal for the needs of undergraduate chemistry
students, Tutorial Chemistry Texts is a major series consisting of
short, single topic or modular texts concentrating on the
fundamental areas of chemistry taught in undergraduate science
courses. Each book provides a concise account of the basic
principles underlying a given subject, embodying an
independent-learning philosophy and including worked examples.
This introduction to organic spectroscopic analysis aims to provide
the reader with a basic understanding of how nuclear magnetic
resonance (NMR), infrared (IR) and ultraviolet-visible (UV-Vis)
spectroscopy, and mass spectrometry (MS) give rise to spectra, and
how these spectra can be used to determine the structure of organic
molecules. The text aims to lead the reader to an appreciation of
the information available from each form of spectroscopy and an
ability to use spectroscopic information in the identification of
organic compounds. Aimed at undergraduate students, Organic
Spectroscopic Analysis is a unique textbook containing large
numbers of spectra, problems and marginal notes, specifically
chosen to highlight the points being discussed. Ideal for the needs
of undergraduate chemistry students, Tutorial Chemistry Texts is a
major series consisting of short, single topic or modular texts

Encompassing all aspects of the structures of peptides and
proteins, this book adopts a uniquely problem-oriented approach to
the topic. Starting with a look at the structures and properties of
the twenty amino acids that occur in proteins, and moving on to the
synthesis of polypeptides and the isolation of proteins, Peptides
and Proteins then addresses the methods of analysis of protein
characteristics, including the modern methods of sequence analysis
by mass spectrometry. Further chapters examine the
three-dimensional nature of protein structure, and introduce the
student to the use of computer applications (molecular graphics,
databases, bioinformatics) in protein chemistry. Original research
data is used in many of the problems, and throughout sufficient
background biology is included, thus putting the subject into
context for chemists. Aimed at first and second-year chemistry
students, this title will also be of interest to students of
biochemistry. Ideal for the needs of undergraduate chemistry
students, Tutorial Chemistry Texts is a major new series consisting
of short, single topic or modular texts concentrating on the
fundamental areas of chemistry taught in undergraduate science
courses. Each book provides a concise account of the basic
principles underlying a given subject, embodying an
independent-learning philosophy and including worked examples.
What do a pharmaceutical, polymer and solid state chemist have in
common? Organometallic chemistry of course, since progress in their
diverse fields has at many times relied on this. It is a discipline
which stands at the crossroads of so many branches of chemistry,
with industrial applications ranging from the gram to megatonne
scale. This book aims to introduce undergraduates to the utility of
organotransition metal chemistry, a discipline of importance to
scientists and technologists in a variety of industry sectors. The
main focus will be on the reactivity of organometallic compounds of
the transition metals, supported by discussion of structure and
bonding and their implications. The aim, on completion of the
course, is that a student will be equipped to recognize the key
classes of organometallic compounds, their methods of
characterization, possible synthetic routes and anticipated
reactivity. Ideal for the needs of undergraduate chemistry
students, Tutorial Chemistry Texts is a major series consisting of
short, single topic or modular texts concentrating on the

Structure and Bonding covers introductory atomic and molecular
theory as given in first and second year undergraduate courses at
university level. This book explains in non-mathematical terms
where possible, the factors that govern covalent bond formation,
the lengths and strengths of bonds and molecular shapes. Throughout
the book, theoretical concepts and experimental evidence are
integrated. An introductory chapter summarizes the principles on
which the Periodic Table is established, and describes the
periodicity of various atomic properties which are relevant to
chemical bonding. Symmetry and group theory are introduced to serve
as the basis of all molecular orbital treatments of molecules. This
basis is then applied to a variety of covalent molecules with
discussions of bond lengths and angles and hence molecular shapes.
Extensive comparisons of valence bond theory and VSEPR theory with
molecular orbital theory are included. Metallic bonding is related
to electrical conduction and semi-conduction. The energetics of
ionic bond formation and the transition from ionic to covalent
bonding is also covered. Ideal for the needs of undergraduate
chemistry students, Tutorial Chemistry Texts is a major series
consisting of short, single topic or modular texts concentrating on
the fundamental areas of chemistry taught in undergraduate science
courses. Each book provides a concise account of the basic
principles underlying a given subject, embodying an
independent-learning philosophy and including worked examples.

Synthesis is one of the major endeavours of the organic chemist,
and the design of a successful synthesis requires a sound knowledge
of functional group chemistry, stereochemistry and organic reaction
mechanisms. Organic Synthetic Methods introduces the major methods
of creating carbon-carbon and carbon-nitrogen bonds, along with
functional group interconversions (oxidation, reduction,
halogenation). The use of protecting groups and solid-phase methods
are also discussed. The analysis of the structure of a target
molecule, in terms of the structural consequences of synthetic
reactions, is introduced to enable the student to identify key
dissections and building blocks and hence develop a suitable
synthetic method. Examples of the synthesis of labelled compounds
are also provided. Ideal for the needs of undergraduate chemistry
students, Tutorial Chemistry Texts is a major new series consisting
of short, single topic or modular texts concentrating on the
fundamental areas of chemistry taught in undergraduate science
courses. Each book provides a concise account of the basic
principles underlying a given subject, embodying an
