The second edition of this handbook concentrates on the analysis of steroids in biological fluids. It offers analysis of low levels of steroid analytes in biological fluids. This new edition also provides an extra chapter on pharmaceutical aspects of steroid analysis. Coverage details spectroscopic and other methods, including UV and IR absorption spectroscopy, NMR spectroscopy, mass spectrometry, X-ray diffraction, chromatography and immunoassay of steroids.
Enzyme Regulation and Mechanism of Action contains the proceedings of the Federation of European Biochemical Societies' Special Meeting on Enzymes held in Dubrovnik, Croatia in 1979. The meeting provided a forum for reviewing advances in understanding the regulation and mechanism of action of enzymes. The discussions are organized around three themes: regulation of enzyme activity; the role of enzymes in the synthesis of nucleic acids and proteins; and proteolytic enzymes. Comprised of 33 chapters, this volume begins with an analysis of partial amino acid sequence of rabbit liver fructose 1,6-bisphophatase and sites of cleavage by proteinases. The reader is then introduced to physiological inactivation of enzymes in yeasts; structure and functions of protein kinases; and control points in the citric acid cycle. Subsequent chapters focus on ligand binding properties and subunit interactions in yeast alcohol dehydrogenase; the role of water in the acceleration of an enzymatic reaction; DNA polymerases of human normal and leukemic cells; and the phylogenetic and developmental aspects of gastric proteinases and their zymogens. This book is intended for enzymologists.
During the past few decades we have witnessed an era of remarkable growth in the field of molecular biology. In 1950 very little was known of the chemical constitution of biological systems, the manner in which information was trans mitted from one organism to another, or the extent to which the chemical basis of life is unified. The picture today is dramatically different. We have an almost bewildering variety of information detailing many different aspects of life at the molecular level. There great advances have brought with them some breath-taking insights into the molecular mechanisms used by nature for rep licating, distributing and modifying biological information. We have learned a g...

This book was first published in 1960 as No. 5 of Volume 49 of Reports of the Forest Research Institute of Sweden. It was at the same time a doctor's thesis in mathematical statistics at Stockholm University. In the second edition, a number of misprints and other errors have been corrected. An author index and a subject index have been added. Finally, a new postscript comments on the later development of the subjects treated in the book. BERTIL MATERN March r¢6 Acknowledgements The completion of this thesis was facilitated through the generous assist ance of several persons and institutions. I would wish to express my sincere gratitude to my teacher, Professor HARALD CRAMtR, now chancellor ...
