Whether that be identifying an exceptional author and proposing an editorship collaboration, or contacting researchers who would like the opportunity to work with IntechOpen, I establish and help manage author and editor acquisition and contact."}},relatedBooks:[{type:"book",id:"7178",title:"Prosthesis",subtitle:null,isOpenForSubmission:!1,hash:"87ab135eeaa8424520cff806439e32a2",slug:"prosthesis",bookSignature:"Ramana Vinjamuri",coverURL:"https://cdn.intechopen.com/books/images_new/7178.jpg",editedByType:"Edited by",editors:[{id:"196746",title:"Dr.",name:"Ramana",surname:"Vinjamuri",slug:"ramana-vinjamuri",fullName:"Ramana Vinjamuri"}],productType:{id:"1",chapterContentType:"chapter",authoredCaption:"Edited by"}},{type:"book",id:"8851",title:"Advances in Neural Signal Processing",subtitle:null,isOpenForSubmission:!1,hash:"a44ac118b233b29a3d5b57d61680ec38",slug:"advances-in-neural-signal-processing",bookSignature:"Ramana Vinjamuri",coverURL:"https://cdn.intechopen.com/books/images_new/8851.jpg",editedByType:"Edited by",editors:[{id:"196746",title:"Dr.",name:"Ramana",surname:"Vinjamuri",slug:"ramana-vinjamuri",fullName:"Ramana Vinjamuri"}],productType:{id:"1",chapterContentType:"chapter",authoredCaption:"Edited by"}},{type:"book",id:"5943",title:"Biomimetic Prosthetics",subtitle:null,isOpenForSubmission:!1,hash:"80150cc5713e49ac90a564e8b2895289",slug:"biomimetic-prosthetics",bookSignature:"Ramana Vinjamuri",coverURL:"https://cdn.intechopen.com/books/images_new/5943.jpg",editedByType:"Edited by",editors:[{id:"196746",title:"Dr.",name:"Ramana",surname:"Vinjamuri",slug:"ramana-vinjamuri",fullName:"Ramana Vinjamuri"}],productType:{id:"1",chapterContentType:"chapter",authoredCaption:"Edited by"}},{type:"book",id:"1591",title:"Infrared Spectroscopy",subtitle:"Materials Science, Engineering and Technology",isOpenForSubmission:!1,hash:"99b4b7b71a8caeb693ed762b40b017f4",slug:"infrared-spectroscopy-materials-science-engineering-and-technology",bookSignature:"Theophile Theophanides",coverURL:"https://cdn.intechopen.com/books/images_new/1591.jpg",editedByType:"Edited by",editors:[{id:"37194",title:"Dr.",name:"Theophile",surname:"Theophanides",slug:"theophile-theophanides",fullName:"Theophile Theophanides"}],productType:{id:"1",chapterContentType:"chapter",authoredCaption:"Edited by"}},{type:"book",id:"3161",title:"Frontiers in Guided Wave Optics and Optoelectronics",subtitle:null,isOpenForSubmission:!1,hash:"deb44e9c99f82bbce1083abea743146c",slug:"frontiers-in-guided-wave-optics-and-optoelectronics",bookSignature:"Bishnu Pal",coverURL:"https://cdn.intechopen.com/books/images_new/3161.jpg",editedByType:"Edited by",editors:[{id:"4782",title:"Prof.",name:"Bishnu",surname:"Pal",slug:"bishnu-pal",fullName:"Bishnu Pal"}],productType:{id:"1",chapterContentType:"chapter",authoredCaption:"Edited by"}},{type:"book",id:"3092",title:"Anopheles mosquitoes",subtitle:"New insights into malaria vectors",isOpenForSubmission:!1,hash:"c9e622485316d5e296288bf24d2b0d64",slug:"anopheles-mosquitoes-new-insights-into-malaria-vectors",bookSignature:"Sylvie Manguin",coverURL:"https://cdn.intechopen.com/books/images_new/3092.jpg",editedByType:"Edited by",editors:[{id:"50017",title:"Prof.",name:"Sylvie",surname:"Manguin",slug:"sylvie-manguin",fullName:"Sylvie Manguin"}],productType:{id:"1",chapterContentType:"chapter",authoredCaption:"Edited by"}},{type:"book",id:"371",title:"Abiotic Stress in Plants",subtitle:"Mechanisms and Adaptations",isOpenForSubmission:!1,hash:"588466f487e307619849d72389178a74",slug:"abiotic-stress-in-plants-mechanisms-and-adaptations",bookSignature:"Arun Shanker and B.

Of importance to this chapter is the literature on physical disinfection strategies for the virus, and infection prevention and control (IPAC) strategies for reducing potential transmission of the virus. In addition, physical inactivation approaches are used for rendering patient samples safe for handling in laboratories conducting diagnostic assays. Certain physical inactivation approaches also are used as barrier technologies for rendering human and animal raw materials safe for use in biologics manufacture. The literature specific to SARS-CoV-2 that has been published in the past 18 months is supplemented by previous literature on other relevant human and animal coronaviruses. These include human coronavirus 229E (HCoV-229E), severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus (SARS-CoV), Middle East respiratory syndrome coronavirus (MERS-CoV), porcine epidemic diarrhea virus (PEDV), transmissible gastroenteritis virus (TGEV), porcine hemagglutinating encephalomyelitis virus (PHEV), and canine, feline, and bovine coronaviruses (this list is not all-inclusive). For the present review chapter, the authors searched the literature for gamma irradiation, electron beam, high pressure, UVC, and heat (thermal) inactivation of coronaviruses in general, and in particular, the specific coronaviruses listed above. No limits were placed on date of publication, although, for obvious reasons, the data on SARS-CoV-2 were obtained from papers published since 2019.
Strategies for IPAC of SARS-CoV-2 include an impressive arsenal of pharmaceutical (vaccines, palliative therapies) and non-pharmaceutical interventions (face mask usage, social distancing, testing, contact tracing and quarantine), as well as chemical and physical approaches for liquid, surface, and air disinfection and for personal hygiene. In this chapter, we have attempted to review the physical inactivation efficacy data for SARS-CoV-2 and other coronaviruses. Our primary emphasis in this review is on IPAC, but other applications of physical inactivation approaches, such as rendering laboratory samples safe for handling within a biosafety I or II facility, and barrier treatments for inactivating potential contaminants in biologics animal-derived materials, are discussed.
The most commonly employed physical approaches for inactivating viruses are thermal (heat) inactivation (applied either to viruses in solutions or dried on surfaces); irradiation (applied to viruses in solutions, in solids, or dried on surfaces); and high pressure (most often employed for disinfection of food items). The irradiation approaches include gamma irradiation, X-irradiation, electron beam irradiation, and 254 nm ultraviolet light (UVC) irradiation. Irradiation with ultraviolet light in the A range and with visible light typically requires the addition of a photoactive chemical and, therefore, these are not truly physical approaches, but rather mixed physical/chemical approaches. The latter will not be dealt with in this chapter. Electron beam irradiation and high-pressure treatment are most commonly used for food preservation and the efficacy data to be found in the literature necessarily involve viruses of food concern (e.g., caliciviruses, astroviruses, reoviruses, picornaviruses, and adenoviruses) [1, 2]. Coronaviruses are not considered viruses of food concern [3] and, therefore, there are little or no data for inactivation of coronaviruses by electron beam irradiation and high-pressure treatment. As a result, there will be little discussion of these approaches in this chapter.
Physical inactivation approaches display efficacy for a broad range of viruses, including both lipid-enveloped and non-enveloped viruses. The factors determining virucidal efficacy for one virus type over another differ among the physical approaches. For instance, particle size appears to be the major determinant for inactivation efficacy of gamma, X-ray, and electron beam irradiation [4], while genomic structure (single vs. double strand, circularity, and relative content of pyrimidine dinucleotides) appears to be more important for determining UVC inactivation efficacy [5]. Thermal inactivation appears to be effective for both lipid-enveloped and non-enveloped viruses, and particle size does not appear to correlate with efficacy [6]. Having said this, the most highly resistant of viruses to heat inactivation are the non-enveloped parvoviruses, circoviruses, and polyomaviruses [6]. The orthogonality of mechanism of inactivation displayed by these physical approaches is convenient. If one approach is not practical for a given virus family, another approach may be applied. A good example is the parvovirus family of small non-enveloped viruses. These typically are highly resistant to thermal inactivation and to gamma, X-ray, and electron beam irradiation but are quite susceptible to UVC irradiation [7].
Physical inactivation approaches also differ with respect to the types of sample matrices that may be treated. Thermal inactivation has the broadest range of matrix types, including liquids and surfaces. Of course, temperatures high enough to inactivate viruses may have adverse impacts on the sample matrices being irradiated. Gamma radiation has high penetrability, and can be used for liquids and solids, though the matrix to be irradiated must be brought in close contact with a gamma source, and such sources are available only at specialized irradiation facilities. In order to minimize potential side effects of gamma irradiation (free radicals, heat) and to maintain the integrity of the sample matrix (such as bovine serum), the typical gamma irradiation process requires keeping the sample to be irradiated at very cold temperature (typically, such samples are kept on dry ice during irradiation) [8]. Electron beam radiation has low penetrability, so is typically used for thin items such as food items [1]. Due to its low penetrability, ultraviolet light irradiation is effective only if the radiation reaches all portions of the matrix being irradiated [9]. It is a line-of-sight approach. It is used for inactivating viruses on non-porous surfaces and liquids which have low UVC-absorbance characteristics [9].
An advantage of physical inactivation approaches is the first-order behavior typically displayed for inactivation of viruses (see Box 1). This enables one to make informed predictions of inactivation efficacy at temperatures, times, fluences that have not specifically been tested empirically.

First-order viral inactivation by physical approaches. One commonality among the physical inactivation approaches is that, as a generality, the log10 reduction in virus titer observed following treatment is first-order (linear) with respect to time in the case of heat inactivation, or with applied dose (fluence) in the case of irradiation. Of course, there are exceptions, which are sometimes attributed to mixed virus populations with differential susceptibility to the inactivation approach. It is likely that the biphasic or non-linear behavior attributed to such mixed populations is due to experimental artifact, including the inclusion of data points which approach the limit of detection of the titration assays used, or simply the fact that most of the available virus has already been inactivated. The typical first-order behavior of the physical inactivation approaches enables the calculation of decimal reduction values (
Gamma irradiation is commonly used for sterilization of plasticware (especially tissue culture flasks, bottles, pipette tips, and pipettes). For such applications, a high fluence (hundreds of kGy) may be used to kill any prokaryotic microbes and viruses [11]. When it comes to disinfecting surfaces, again, sufficiently high fluences may be employed to kill any microbes and viruses. For disinfection of frozen or liquid solutions, care must be taken to balance the need for adequate sterilization with maintenance of the expected performance of the solutions being irradiated [4]. Gamma radiation interacts with solutions in different manners, depending on a number of factors, including the temperature of the solution and the presence of radiation-scavenging compounds. At very low temperatures (< −60°C, for instance, and in the presence of radiation scavengers, such as concentrated proteins), the radiation impacts on the solution itself are limited, and the impacts on suspended microbes are more selectively targeted to vital macromolecules such as genomic material. These effects are termed “direct” radiation effects. At temperatures above freezing and in the absence of scavenging compounds, effects termed “indirect” are imparted to the solution. These are characterized as radiolysis products attributed to the interaction of photons with water, forming oxygen radicals that can damage not only suspended microbes but also any biological materials in solutions. As a result of the above, inactivation of viruses in solutions, such as animal serum or culture medium containing serum, is typically accomplished by irradiating the sample matrices frozen on dry ice [4, 8].
As mentioned already, gamma radiation is highly penetrating, therefore is ideal for pathogen reduction in deeply frozen containers of animal serum and other biological samples. The data pertaining to efficacy of gamma irradiation for inactivating coronaviruses [12, 13, 14, 15, 16] are displayed in Table 1. These data were collected using deeply frozen tissue culture medium containing small amounts of bovine serum (i.e., the harvest medium containing the virus that comprised the viral stocks tested). In each case, the sample temperature during irradiation was maintained through use of dry ice, so that primarily the direct effects of the radiation on the viral macromolecules were to be expected. As expected, based on the known mechanism of action of gamma radiation on the viruses, and the relatively large particle size (60–136 nm) of the coronaviruses, the inactivating efficacies of gamma irradiation on SARS-CoV, MERS-CoV, and SARS-CoV-2 were similar in the reported studies [12, 13, 14, 15, 16]. The consensus data indicate an efficacy of 0.5–0.9 log10 inactivation per kGy of gamma radiation. At the typical range of fluences administered to frozen animal serum (25–45 kGy), as an example, one would therefore expect >12 log10 inactivation of coronaviruses (i.e., 0.5 log10 inactivation per kGy × 25 kGy). It may be predicted that members of the coronavirus family, including future emerging species, should each be highly susceptible to inactivation by gamma radiation.

Greater efficacy for inactivating coronaviruses may be expected when irradiating solutions at higher temperatures (especially above freezing) and in the absence of radiation scavengers. This is due to the additional contribution of the indirect effects of gamma radiation. Of course, under these conditions, the matrix being irradiated may be degraded to the point where it no longer is useful for the intended application.
As indicated in the above, gamma irradiation should be considered a very effective physical approach for inactivating coronaviruses, such as SARS-CoV-2. Reports have suggested, for instance, the suitability of gamma irradiation for inactivation of SARS-CoV-2, while preventing loss of antigenic content, for use in preparing vaccines [17]. In a practical sense, however, the requirement for a gamma radiation source such as cobalt60 limit the general availability of this approach for routine use. Items or solutions to be gamma irradiated must be shipped to an irradiation facility to accomplish this.
As mentioned above, photons of light from various regions of the electromagnetic spectrum (i.e., visible, UVA, UVB, and UVC) have been used for inactivation of viruses. Available scientific literature indicates that light in the UVC range has the greatest efficacy for inactivating viruses, through a purely physical mechanism of action that does not depend on chemical radiation-sensitizing compounds. While visible light (405 nm) in the absence of photosensitizing agents has been shown to have efficacy for inactivating SARS-CoV-2, this activity is relatively weak, compared to that of UVC. For instance, a fluence of 288 mJ/cm2 was required to cause a 2.58 log10 inactivation [18], equating to about 0.0090 log10/(mJ/cm2), an order of magnitude greater than the UVC fluence required (see below). The reason for the unique efficacy of UVC light in the absence of sensitizing agents is thought to be the correspondence of the UVC light wavelength, typically 254 nm light from mercury vapor lamps, with the absorbance peaks of the target nucleic acids (∼265 nm) [9, 19].
Only the efficacy of UVC light is discussed in the tables below. Unlike gamma irradiation, which can penetrate solids, UVC irradiation is a line-of-sight approach, which depends on exposure of target organisms to the radiation. The impacts to the target organism depend on the absorbed dose. As with gamma irradiation, the dose of UVC light applied can be expressed in a single fluence term that takes into account both dose rate and time. A variety of units have been used in the literature, which can lead to confusion when attempting to compare results between labs. We use the units mJ/cm2 in this chapter, since most of the virus inactivation results to be found in the literature have been expressed in these units. Conversion of other fluence units, such as J/m2 to mJ/cm2 is straightforward, while exposures expressed in units of mW/cm2 must be multiplied by the exposure time (in seconds) to convert to mJ/cm2.
The mechanism of inactivation of viruses by UVC radiation is thought to involve interaction of the energetic photons with nucleic acids comprising the viral genome. Pyrimidine nucleotides (uracil, thymine, cytosine) are especially susceptible to the formation of covalent dimers following exposure to UVC. A more thorough discussion of mechanisms and pyrimidine dimer formation, and relevance for predicting efficacy for viruses of different genomic structure, is beyond the scope of this chapter. Readers are referred to excellent source papers [5, 20, 21].
There is some literature on coronavirus inactivation in liquid matrices by UVC radiation, and rather scanty information on irradiation of these viruses on solid surfaces or in aerosols. A summary of the evaluation of UVC efficacy for inactivating SARS-CoV-2 and other coronaviruses in liquid matrices is displayed in Table 2. No attempt to cherry-pick the efficacy data has been made in assembling this table, although it will be readily apparent on review of this table that discrepant results in terms of

A summary of the evaluation of the inactivation of coronaviruses by UVC radiation on solid surfaces and in aerosols is provided in Table 3. As mentioned above, there are fewer reports for this topic within the literature. On a theoretical basis, UVC radiation accessibility to viruses dried on surfaces or present in aerosols should be optimal, therefore such considerations as impact of stirring or impact of matrix absorption of the radiation should not confound the efficacy results to the extent that these do in liquid matrix studies.

Efficacy of Ultraviolet C (UVC) irradiation for inactivating coronaviruses on surfaces or in aerosols.

For general reviews of UVC inactivation of coronaviruses in various matrices, the reader may also consult Boegel et al. [19], Hadi et al. [20], Chiappa et al. [39], and Helßling et al. [40]. Pendyala et al. [21] used efficacy modeling based on pyrimidine dinucleotide content to predict UVC efficacy for inactivating various alpha-, beta-, and gamma-coronaviruses. The conclusion of the modeling was that coronaviruses, as a family, are highly susceptible to UVC, and the
The data presented suggest that UVC irradiation is a very effective physical approach for inactivating coronaviruses, such as SARS-CoV-2. It is not surprising, therefore, that UVC has been proposed for a variety of applications, including indoor air sanitization [36, 41, 42, 43, 44], inactivation of coronaviruses in water [33] or other solutions, inactivation of biological samples for downstream use in assays [22], and surface hygiene [34, 45], including sanitization of personal protective equipment [35, 46, 47].
As is the case for gamma irradiation, heat can be highly penetrating, depending upon the inactivation matrix. For instance, heat transfer within liquids is typically efficient, so heat inactivation is a commonly employed method for inactivating adventitious agents (including viruses) in solutions. Heat inactivation is also commonly utilized for decontaminating non-porous surfaces. For some time, there has existed a dogma that heat inactivation of viruses is more effective when applied to solutions (liquid or wet inactivation) than to surfaces (carrier or dry inactivation). Exceptions to this have been noted recently [48, 49], and it is more correct to state that relative efficacy for wet vs. dry heating may depend upon the specific virus being inactivated.
The mechanisms underlying inactivation of viruses by heat are thought to be the same for both enveloped and non-enveloped viruses. The treatment is thought to result in leaky protein capsids, which allow penetration of the capsid by nucleases and loss of capsid contents to the environment. In either case, nucleases would be expected to rapidly degrade the genomic material and render the viruses non-infectious [50]. If this mechanism is correct, heat inactivation efficacy should be similar for enveloped and non-enveloped viruses. Indeed, examination of wet heat inactivation data across virus families confirms this conclusion [6]. While certain viruses (e.g., animal parvoviruses and polyomaviruses) exhibit unusually high heat resistance, in general non-enveloped viruses do not appear to be significantly more resistant to heat than enveloped viruses [6].
The literature on heat inactivation of coronaviruses, including SARS-CoV-2, is extensive. The reports generally contain information on efficacy of one or more temperatures evaluated for one or more time periods. These studies [15, 29, 30, 51, 52, 53, 54, 55, 56, 57, 58, 59, 60, 61, 62, 63, 64, 65] generally do not report

Relatively few reports of heat inactivation on carriers (dry heat) have been published for coronaviruses (Table 5).

Taken together, the data in Figures 1 and 2 and Tables 4–6 support the expectation that similar heat sensitivities are to be expected for various members of the
The literature that has been reviewed above indicate that heat inactivation is typically utilized for inactivation of coronaviruses in solutions, but this physical approach has also been used for decontamination of these viruses on surfaces, such as stainless steel and N95 respirator material. In addition, hot (≥63°C), humid (95% relative humidity) air exposure for 1 hour has been described for decontaminating enveloped RNA virus (bacteriophage Phi6 used as a surrogate for SARS-CoV-2) dried on surfaces within aircraft [81].
Physical pathogen inactivation approaches have a number of advantages. First among these is the fact that these approaches display efficacy for a broad range of pathogen types, up to and including bacterial and fungal spores. In the hierarchy of pathogen susceptibility to microbicides (sometimes referred to as the Spaulding scale [82]), only infectious proteins (prions) may remain resistant to these physical approaches as normally applied [83, 84]. Per the established hierarchy with regard to viral inactivation [85, 86, 87, 88], non-enveloped viruses display much greater susceptibility to microbicides, while enveloped viruses are considered to be among the most susceptible of all pathogens to microbicides. For physical inactivation approaches, this hierarchy may be somewhat different. As mentioned in the introduction to this chapter, the orthogonal physical approaches may display complementary efficacies for different virus families, and efficacy is not solely determined by envelope status or particle size.
Secondly, to a certain extent, the physical approaches require additions of photons to the inactivation matrix, not molecules—as in the case of chemical inactivation. This means that the physical approaches can be used without the necessity of removing the inactivating agent from the inactivation matrix. For example, gamma irradiation can be applied to finished product in sealed containers, ultraviolet irradiation can be applied through glass or plastic tubing, and heat can be applied to containers of liquids. Each of the methods can be applied to surfaces without the need to subsequently remove an inactivating agent.
The first-order behavior of physical inactivation approaches, discussed previously in this chapter, is also a useful attribute. For instance, gamma irradiation and UVC inactivation efficacies are typically first-order with respect to applied fluence. Efficacy of heat inactivation is typically first-order with respect to time at any given temperature. This means that once a
In this chapter, we have attempted to convert, where possible, inactivation results from different reports into the
As is apparent from this chapter, the three physical inactivation approaches discussed (gamma irradiation, UVC irradiation, and heat inactivation) each display efficacy for all members of the
Gamma irradiation. Gamma irradiation must be performed at an irradiation facility. It is typically applied to inanimate surfaces, such as plasticware, at high fluences for sterilization. For decontaminating biological liquids, the irradiation is typically done at low temperature to avoid the damaging effects of indirect radiation effects.
UVC irradiation. Ultraviolet light is a line-of sight-approach. If the inactivation matrix is shielded from the photons, or absorbs the photons, the efficacy for inactivation will be low. Establishing dosimetry under the actual inactivation conditions and assuring that all portions of the matrix receive photons is essential for efficacy. For IPAC, surface disinfection by UVC must be conducted while the indoor spaces are not occupied.
Heat inactivation. Extent of inactivation depends on the temperature applied and the contact time, as well as on the specific virus being inactivated. Since coronaviruses appear to be very susceptible to heat inactivation, this approach is useful. Achieving and maintaining the desired inactivation temperature for the required contact time can be challenging. Heat and humidity have been used for IPAC, specifically for disinfecting aircraft cabins [81]. This approach also is commonly applied in the biologics industries.
For each of these physical approaches, a balance must be achieved between the desired log10 reduction in infectious virus level and the need to retain the desired attributes of the material being decontaminated. This includes inanimate surfaces, such as plasticware in the case of gamma irradiation [11]. To put this in another way, users are not always free to use extremely high fluences of gamma or UVC radiation, or extremely high temperatures as a means of assuring decontamination. Each of these physical approaches are capable of causing unintended damage to biological solutions and material surfaces. Treatment of indoor spaces with UVC radiation must be conducted when those spaces are unoccupied by humans.

Human brain holds a significant amount of power in observing the species around him and trying to incorporate their behavior in several walks of life. This mimicking has helped human to evolve into beings which we are now. Some typical examples include navigation systems, designing several gadgets like aero planes, boats, etc. These days these inspirations are several, and their inspiration is being utilized in several fields like operations, supply-chain management, machine learning and several other fields. The similar kind of approach has been discussed in this paper where we tried to analyze different phenomenon in nature and how different algorithms were designed from these and how these can ultimately be used to solve different issues in cloud balancing. Essential component of cloud computing is load balancer which holds a crucial role of task allocation in virtual machines and several kinds of algorithms were developed on different ways of task allocation procedures each holding its significance here we tried to find the optimal resource allocation in terms of task allocation and rather than approaching through traditional methods we tried to solve this issue by using soft computing techniques. Specifically, nature-inspired algorithms as it hold the key to unlocking massive potential regarding research and problem-solving approach. The central idea of this paper is to connect different optimization techniques to load balancer and how could we make a hybrid algorithm to serve the purpose. We also discussed several different types of algorithms each bearing its roots from different natural procedures. All the algorithms in this paper can be broadly tabulated into three different types SO (Swarm optimization techniques), GO (Genetic-based algorithms), PO (Physics-based algorithms).",book:{id:"8754",slug:"scheduling-problems-new-applications-and-trends",title:"Scheduling Problems",fullTitle:"Scheduling Problems - New Applications and Trends"},signatures:"Surya Teja Marella and Thummuru Gunasekhar",authors:[{id:"297632",title:"Mr.",name:"Surya Teja",middleName:null,surname:"Marella",slug:"surya-teja-marella",fullName:"Surya Teja Marella"},{id:"298899",title:"Dr.",name:"Thummuru",middleName:null,surname:"Gunasekhar",slug:"thummuru-gunasekhar",fullName:"Thummuru Gunasekhar"}]},{id:"42376",title:"Monte-Carlo Simulation of Particle Diffusion in Various Geometries and Application to Chemistry and Biology",slug:"monte-carlo-simulation-of-particle-diffusion-in-various-geometries-and-application-to-chemistry-and-",totalDownloads:3428,totalCrossrefCites:7,totalDimensionsCites:11,abstract:null,book:{id:"3250",slug:"theory-and-applications-of-monte-carlo-simulations",title:"Theory and Applications of Monte Carlo Simulations",fullTitle:"Theory and Applications of Monte Carlo Simulations"},signatures:"Ianik Plante and Francis A.

Biochemistry examines macromolecules - proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids – and their building blocks, structures, functions, and interactions. Much of biochemistry is devoted to enzymes, proteins that catalyze chemical reactions, enzyme structures, mechanisms of action and their roles within cells. Biochemistry also studies small signaling molecules, coenzymes, inhibitors, vitamins, and hormones, which play roles in life processes. Biochemical experimentation, besides coopting classical chemistry methods, e.g., chromatography, adopted new techniques, e.g., X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, NMR, radioisotopes, and developed sophisticated microbial genetic tools, e.g., auxotroph mutants and their revertants, fermentation, etc. More recently, biochemistry embraced the ‘big data’ omics systems. Initial biochemical studies have been exclusively analytic: dissecting, purifying, and examining individual components of a biological system; in the apt words of Efraim Racker (1913 –1991), “Don’t waste clean thinking on dirty enzymes.” Today, however, biochemistry is becoming more agglomerative and comprehensive, setting out to integrate and describe entirely particular biological systems. The ‘big data’ metabolomics can define the complement of small molecules, e.g., in a soil or biofilm sample; proteomics can distinguish all the comprising proteins, e.g., serum; metagenomics can identify all the genes in a complex environment, e.g., the bovine rumen. This Biochemistry Series will address the current research on biomolecules and the emerging trends with great promise.",coverUrl:"https://cdn.intechopen.com/series/covers/11.jpg",latestPublicationDate:"May 24th, 2022",hasOnlineFirst:!0,numberOfPublishedBooks:27,editor:{id:"31610",title:"Dr.",name:"Miroslav",middleName:null,surname:"Blumenberg",slug:"miroslav-blumenberg",fullName:"Miroslav Blumenberg",profilePictureURL:"https://mts.intechopen.com/storage/users/31610/images/system/31610.jpg",biography:"Miroslav Blumenberg, Ph.D., was born in Subotica and received his BSc in Belgrade, Yugoslavia.

Biochemistry examines macromolecules - proteins, nucleic acids, carbohydrates, and lipids – and their building blocks, structures, functions, and interactions. Much of biochemistry is devoted to enzymes, proteins that catalyze chemical reactions, enzyme structures, mechanisms of action and their roles within cells. Biochemistry also studies small signaling molecules, coenzymes, inhibitors, vitamins, and hormones, which play roles in life processes. Biochemical experimentation, besides coopting classical chemistry methods, e.g., chromatography, adopted new techniques, e.g., X-ray diffraction, electron microscopy, NMR, radioisotopes, and developed sophisticated microbial genetic tools, e.g., auxotroph mutants and their revertants, fermentation, etc. More recently, biochemistry embraced the ‘big data’ omics systems. Initial biochemical studies have been exclusively analytic: dissecting, purifying, and examining individual components of a biological system; in the apt words of Efraim Racker (1913 –1991), “Don’t waste clean thinking on dirty enzymes.” Today, however, biochemistry is becoming more agglomerative and comprehensive, setting out to integrate and describe entirely particular biological systems. The ‘big data’ metabolomics can define the complement of small molecules, e.g., in a soil or biofilm sample; proteomics can distinguish all the comprising proteins, e.g., serum; metagenomics can identify all the genes in a complex environment, e.g., the bovine rumen.

Thus proteomics, an area of research that detects all protein forms expressed in an organism, including splice isoforms and post-translational modifications, is more suitable than genomics for a comprehensive understanding of the biochemical processes that govern life. The most common proteomics applications are currently in the clinical field for the identification, in a variety of biological matrices, of biomarkers for diagnosis and therapeutic intervention of disorders. From the comparison of proteomic profiles of control and disease or different physiological states, which may emerge, changes in protein expression can provide new insights into the roles played by some proteins in human pathologies. Understanding how proteins function and interact with each other is another goal of proteomics that makes this approach even more intriguing. Specialized technology and expertise are required to assess the proteome of any biological sample. Currently, proteomics relies mainly on mass spectrometry (MS) combined with electrophoretic (1 or 2-DE-MS) and/or chromatographic techniques (LC-MS/MS). MS is an excellent tool that has gained popularity in proteomics because of its ability to gather a complex body of information such as cataloging protein expression, identifying protein modification sites, and defining protein interactions. The Proteomics topic aims to attract contributions on all aspects of MS-based proteomics that, by pushing the boundaries of MS capabilities, may address biological problems that have not been resolved yet.",annualVolume:11414,isOpenForSubmission:!0,coverUrl:"https://cdn.intechopen.com/series_topics/covers/18.jpg",editor:{id:"200689",title:"Prof.",name:"Paolo",middleName:null,surname:"Iadarola",fullName:"Paolo Iadarola",profilePictureURL:"https://s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/intech-files/0030O00002bSCl8QAG/Profile_Picture_1623568118342",institutionString:null,institution:{name:"University of Pavia",institutionURL:null,country:{name:"Italy"}}},editorTwo:{id:"201414",title:"Dr.",name:"Simona",middleName:null,surname:"Viglio",fullName:"Simona Viglio",profilePictureURL:"https://s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/intech-files/0030O00002bRKDHQA4/Profile_Picture_1630402531487",institutionString:null,institution:{name:"University of Pavia",institutionURL:null,country:{name:"Italy"}}},editorThree:null,editorialBoard:[{id:"72288",title:"Dr.",name:"Arli Aditya",middleName:null,surname:"Parikesit",fullName:"Arli Aditya Parikesit",profilePictureURL:"https://mts.intechopen.com/storage/users/72288/images/system/72288.jpg",institutionString:null,institution:{name:"Indonesia International Institute for Life Sciences",institutionURL:null,country:{name:"Indonesia"}}},{id:"40928",title:"Dr.",name:"Cesar",middleName:null,surname:"Lopez-Camarillo",fullName:"Cesar Lopez-Camarillo",profilePictureURL:"https://mts.intechopen.com/storage/users/40928/images/3884_n.png",institutionString:null,institution:{name:"Universidad Autónoma de la Ciudad de México",institutionURL:null,country:{name:"Mexico"}}},{id:"81926",title:"Dr.",name:"Shymaa",middleName:null,surname:"Enany",fullName:"Shymaa Enany",profilePictureURL:"https://s3.us-east-1.amazonaws.com/intech-files/0030O00002bRqB9QAK/Profile_Picture_1626163237970",institutionString:null,institution:{name:"Suez Canal University",institutionURL:null,country:{name:"Egypt"}}}]}]}},libraryRecommendation:{success:null,errors:{},institutions:[]},route:{name:"chapter.detail",path:"/chapters/12113",hash:"",query:{},params:{id:"12113"},fullPath:"/chapters/12113",meta:{},from:{name:null,path:"/",hash:"",query:{},params:{},fullPath:"/",meta:{}}}},function(){var e;(e=document.currentScript||document.scripts[document.scripts.length-1]).parentNode.removeChild(e)}()
