Beschreibung
Functional Metabolism of Cells is the first comprehensive survey ofmetabolism, offering an in-depth examination of metabolism andregulation of carbohydrates, lipids, and amino acids. It provides abasic background on metabolic regulation and adaptation as well asthe chemical logic of metabolism, and covers the interrelationshipof metabolism to life processes of the whole organism. The booklays out a structured approach to the metabolic basis of disease,including discussion of the normal pathways of metabolism, alteredpathways leading to disease, and use of molecular genetics indiagnosis and treatment of disease. It also takes a uniquecomparative approach in which human metabolism is a reference formetabolism in microorganisms and plant design, and presents novelcoverage of development and aging, and human health and animaladaptation. The final chapter reviews the past and future promiseof new genetic approaches to treatment and bioinformatics.
This, the most exhaustive treatment of metabolism currentlyavailable, is a useful text for advanced undergraduates andgraduates in biochemistry, cell/molecular biology, and biomedicine,as well as biochemistry instructors and investigators in relatedfields.
