Academic Press Novel Cofactors: Volume 58 (Advances in Protein Chemistry) (Advances in Protein Chemistry, Volume 58)

Product Description A cofactor is a component part of many enzymes and functions by uniting with another molecule in order to become active. The use of cofactors to supplement the native amino acids of a protein is essential to maintain the chemical capabilities necessary for organisms to survive. This volume focuses on the significant advances of the past decade in identifying and describing new cofactors--either small molecules or those derived posttranslationally. Review Praise for the Series: "The authority, originality, and editing of the reviews are first class." --NATURE "The Advances in Protein Chemistry series has been a major factor in the education of protein chemists." --JOURNAL OF THE AMERICAN CHEMICAL SOCIETY
