Interest in the chemistry of biological systems, as well as in molecular chemical engineering, has grown considerably since the mid-1980s. Many fields in modern chemistry are contributing to a better understanding of elementary mechanisms of various biological processes and this has resulted in the development of new classes of organic and organometallic compounds with specific and high biological activity. Such a multidisciplinary approach creates opportunities for an exchange of ideas and the need to create a common language. This volume contains a set of papers, written by leading scientists which collectively provide an overview of current research activities relating to the chemistry of biological systems. These papers emphasize the interdisciplinary nature of this research. This text should be of interest to researchers in academia and industry whose work involves the chemistry and properties of biomolecular systems.

In this Festschrift dedicated to the 60th birthday of V. Barone, selected researchers in theoretical chemistry present research highlights on major developments in the field. Originally published in the journal Theoretical Chemistry Accounts, these outstanding contributions are now available in a hardcover print format. This volume is of benefit in particular to those research groups and libraries that have chosen to have only electronic access to the journal. It also provides valuable content for all researchers in theoretical chemistry.

Nanoscience is indeed one of the most important research and development fr- tiers in modern science.Simplistically, nanoscience is the science of small particles of materials of a size of nanometre. Molecular nanoscience and nanotechnology have brought to us the unprecedented experimental control of the structure of matter with novel extraordinary properties that open new horizons and new opportunities, and new ways to make things, particularly in our everyday life, to heal our bodies, and to care of the environment. Unfortunately, they have also brought unwelcome advances in weaponry and opened yet more ways to foul up the world on an en- mous scale.
