The motivation for us to produce a treatise on regulation was mainly our convic tion that it would be fun, and at the same time productive, to approach the subject in a way that differs from that of other treatises. We had ourselves written reviews for various volumes over the years, most of them bringing together all possible facts relevant to a particular operon, virus, or biosynthetic system. And we were not convinced of the value of such reviews for anyone but the expert in the field reviewed. We thought it might be more interesting and more instructive-for both author and reader-to avoid reviewing topics that anyone scientist might work on, but instead to review the various parts of wha...
The motivation for us to conceive this series of volumes on regulation was mainly our belief that it would be fun, and at the same time productive, to approach the subject in a way that differs from that of other treatises. We thought it might be interesting and instructive for both author and reader-to examine a particular area of investigation in a framework of many different problems. Cutting across the traditional boundaries that have separated the subjects in past volumes on regulation is not an easy thing to do-not because it is difficult to think of what interesting topics should replace the old ones, but because it is difficult to find authors who are willing to write about areas out...
Current Topics in Cellular Regulation, Volume 5 presents the fundamental mechanisms involved in the regulation of diverse cellular activities, including cellular differentiation, intermediary metabolism, and the transfer of genetic information. This book provides information pertinent to the various aspects of cellular regulation. Organized into eight chapters, this volume begins with an overview of the role of phosphofructokinase in the regulation of glycolysis. This text then outlines the structural aspects of phosphofructokinase, its main kinetic properties, and the various mechanisms that have been proposed for its regulation. Other chapters consider the four-stage approach to analysis of control mechanisms. This book discusses as well the regulation of cellular function through the mechanism of protein phosphorylation. The final chapter deals with the pathway for histidine biosynthesis in Salmonella typhimurium, which consists of a series of reactions, each catalyzed by a specific enzyme. This book is a valuable resource for biologists and biochemists.
