Redox-Active Amino Acids in Biology

General Description of the Volume:lt;/b> The role of low molecular weight cofactors (often vitamins) in enzyme catalysis has been discussed in many earlier volumes of Methods in Enzymologylt;/b>. Exciting new results indicate that redox-active prosthetic groups can also arise from pre-existing amino acid side chains in proteins. in this volume, methods are described for the detection and characterization of such prosthetic groups in a range of enzyme systems. General Description of the Series:lt;/b> The critically acclaimed laboratory standard for more than forty years, Methods in Enzymologylt;/b> is one of the most highly respected publications in the field of biochemistry. Since 1955, each volume has been eagerly awaited, frequently consulted, and praised by researchers and reviewers alike. Now with more than 300 volumes (all of them still in print), the series contains much material still relevant today--truly an essential publication for researchers in all fields of life sciences. Key Features * Among the redox-active prosthetic groups covered are: * Topa quinones * Pyrroloquinoline quinones * Quinoproteins * Tryptophan tryptophylquinonesKlinman, Judith P. is the author of 'Redox-Active Amino Acids in Biology' with ISBN 9780121821593 and ISBN 0121821595.
