INFORM

Focusing on the research area of metalloenzymes involving amino acid-residue and related radicals, this volume's 13 chapters examine free radical sites and their locations, as well as mechanistic considerations and experimental approaches regarding peroxidases, the photosystem II, ribonucleotide reductases, prostaglandin endoperoxide synthases, diol dehydrases, galactose and amino oxidases, and other pertinent enzymes that all depend on metal ions: manganese, iron, cobalt, and copper. Includes ample illustrative diagrams and charts. Annotation c. Book News, Inc., Portland, OR (booknews.com)
