The three-dimensional structure of humic substances and soil organic matter studied by computational analytical chemistry
A novel three-dimensional structural concept for humic substances and soil organic matter (SOM) is proposed which is based on previously published,...

Geochemistry and Macromolecular Structure of Coal
Coal is a complex sedimentary rock derived from plant remains that underwent peatification and subsequent coalification. Coals originated as peat... -
Diet and Chronic Degenerative Diseases
In 1983, a cross-sectional survey of diet, lifestyle, and disease mortality characteristics was carried out in 130 villages located in 65 counties of... -
The Dietary Causes of Degenerative Diseases
For a very long time, food has been recognized as being important in the development of disease, at least back to the time of Hippocrates 2500 years... -
DNA Modifications
DNA, deoxyribonucleic acid, is crucial to life. With its triplet coding, DNA serves as the template for messenger RNA, and is therefore responsible... -
Hydrothermal Alteration of Organic Matter in Marine and Terrestrial Systems
The discovery in 1977 of active hydrothermal venting and associated mineralization at the seafloor spreading center of the Galápagos (Corliss et al.,... -
Supercritical fluid extraction in environmental analysis
Supercritical fluid extraction (SFE) is a novel sample preparation method which promises to have a profound influence on environmental analytical... -
Early Diagenesis of Organic Matter: The Dynamics (Rates) of Cycling of Organic Compounds
Major changes in the concentration and composition of organic matter occur in the upper layers of aquatic sediments [see chapters by Hedges and Prahl... -
A Review of Macromolecular Organic Compounds That Comprise Living Organisms and Their Role in Kerogen, Coal, and Petroleum Formation
It is generally accepted that the formation of kerogens is the result of the so-called depolymerization-recondensation pathway (Tissot and Welte,... -
Chemical Methods for Assessing Kerogen and Protokerogen Types and Maturity
Kerogen is the complex, high-molecular-weight, disseminated organic matter (OM) in sediments. It is operationally defined as OM that is insoluble in... -
Lipids and Macromolecular Lipids of the Hydrocarbon-rich Microalga Botryococcus braunii. Chemical Structure and Biosynthesis. Geochemical and Biotechnological Importance
Botryococcus braunii Kützing is a colonial Chlorophyceae (green microalga) characterized by an unusually high production of... -
Proteins in the fossil bone of the dinosaur, seismosaurus
Proteins have been successfully extracted from the fossil vertebra of a 150-million-year-old sauropod dinosaur (“Seismosaurus”) recently excavated...

Role of Intercellular Communication in Modifying the Consequences of Mutations in Somatic Cells
While there is little question that mutations could play a role in several somatic disease states, it is hard to understand how a mutation in a...
