An editorial board was constituted for the first time to also review and suggest topics for inclusion. In the sixth edition, we devote an entire subsection of Volume 4 to cancer research we have also reviewed the major published Medicinal Chemistry and Pharmacology texts to ensure that we did not omit any major therapeutic classes of drugs. In addition to the new areas, we have filled in gaps in the fifth edition by including topics that were not covered. Proteomics, genomics, bioinformatics, combinatorial chemistry, high-throughput screening, blood substitutes, allosteric effectors as potential drugs, COX inhibitors, the statins, and high-throughput pharmacology are only a few. Several new subject areas have emerged since the fifth edition appeared. We are greatly in debt to the authors and editorial board members participating in this revision of the major reference work in our field. To accomplish this goal, we expanded the content from 69 chapters (5 volumes) by approximately 50% (to over 100 chapters in 6 volumes). Our hope was to make this edition of Burger the most comprehensive and useful published to date. Our intention was to provide a spectrum of fields that would provide new or experienced medicinal chemists, biologists, pharmacologists and molecular biologists entry to their subjects of interest as well as provide a current and global perspective of drug design, and drug development. For the first time, all volumes are structured entirely according to content and published simultaneously. The online version will permit updating and easy access. For the first time, there will be an online version of this major reference work. The sixth edition has several new and unique features.
The Editors, Editorial Board Members, and John Wiley and Sons have worked for three and a half years to update the fifth edition of Burger's Medicinal Chemistry and Drug Discovery. He was married for 65 years to Frances Page Burger, a genteel Virginia lady who always had a smile and an open house for the Professor's graduate students and postdoctoral fellows.
Burger played the violin and loved classical music. Burger received the Louis Pasteur Medal of the Pasteur Institute and the Amer, ican Chemical Society Smissman Award. His last published work, a book, was written at age 90 (Understanding Medications: What the Label Doesn't Tell You, June 1995). He founded the Journal of Medicinal Chemistry, Medicinal Chemistry Research, and published the first major reference work "Medicinal Chemistry" in two volumes in 1951. Burger was a visiting Professor at the University of Hawaii and lectured throughout the world. He is one of the few academicians to have a drug, designed and synthesized in his laboratories, brought to market. Burger's research focused on analgesics, antidepressants, and chemotherapeutic agents. The chemistry department at UVA became the major academic training ground for medicinal chemists because of Professor Burger. He joined the UVA chemistry faculty in 1938 and served the department until his retirement in 1970. During his early years at UVA, he synthesized fragments of the morphine molecule in an attempt to find the analgesic pharmacophore. from the University of Vienna in 1928 and joined the Drug Addiction Laboratory in the Department of Chemistry at the University of Virginia in 1929. Professor Alfred Burger was born in Vienna, Austria on Septemand died on December 30, 2000.
The Sixth Edition of Burger's Medicinal Chemistry and Drug Discovery is being designated as a Memorial Edition.
For my example of the base 2 logarithm of 16, I would type 16 here.Department of Medicinal Chemistry School of Pharmacy Vir - r- m iversityīurger's Medicinal Chemistry and Drug Discovery is available Online in full color at A John Wiley and Sons, Inc., Publication You can now type the number you would like to find the logarithm of.
Press the right arrow key to switch to the next box. For example, if I was calculating the base 2 logarithm of 16, I would type 2 in this first box. You will now be able to type the base of the log you would like to calculate. To access it, press, , and select the fifth option from the menu, logBase(. “logBase(” is the name of the operation on your calculator that allows you to calculate any base logarithm (If you are only interested in calculating base 10 logs, you can just use the button). Let’s get started! Finding the “logBASE(” Operation Most students know that you can calculate a base 10 logarithm by pressing the button on the keypad, but the option to change the base is hidden away in the calculator’s menus.
Calculating logarithms on the TI-84 Plus CE graphing calculator (or any other TI-84 Plus, for that matter) is a common operation used in many high school level classes.
