Since the publication of the successful and popular second edition of Fundamentals of Enzymology in 1989, a large increase in the knowledge of several aspects of enzymology has occurred -- particularly in the areas of structural characterization of enzymes and bioinformatics. This new edition places appropriate emphasis on the new knowledge while consolidating the strengths of the previous editions. As before, this volume gives a thorough overview of the field that includes: enzyme purification and characterization; enzyme structure (including information on World Wide Web sites); enzyme kinetics; the mechanisms and control of enzyme action; enzyme folding; how enzymes act in vivo; enzyme synthesis and degradation; and clinical and industrial applications of enzymology. Furthermore, the integration of these themes is stressed throughout the book, making it useful for advanced undergraduates in biochemistry and molecular biology.

Fundamentals of Enzymology

Price, Nicholas

Now in a new edition, this book provides an up-to-date account of the field of enzymology. It describes the action of enzymes in systems of increasing complexity, and shows how these properties can be best utilized, both clinically and technically. The reader will find in-depth coverage purified enzymes, including full treatment of purification methods, structure, kinetics, mechanism of action, and the control of enzyme activity. The behavior of enzymes in more complex systems is discussed, and the intact cell is thoroughly examined. Fundamentals of Enzymology also provides complete information on enzyme turnover in vivo, clinical aspects of enzymes, and enzyme technology. This new edition pays close attention to new applications of recombinant-DNA technology, and includes the latest information on the production of enzymes, the determination of amino-acid sequences, and the analysis of enzyme structure and function using site-directed mutagenesis.

The science of genetics has undergone a period of very rapid and significant development in recent years, and the area of poultry genetics has been no exception. This book provides a balanced and up-to-date account of all the major areas of this subject from Mendelian to modern molecular genetics. The book begins by tracing the evolution of the domestic fowl (Gallus domesticus) from its avian ancestors. Subsequent chapters cover important aspects of poultry genetics, including cytogenetics, transmission genetics, gene mapping, sex linkage, lethal genes, genetics of feathering and plumage, and quantitative genetics. In each chapter, a concise explanation of the genetic principles is followed by a full discussion illustrated by key examples. In the latter part of the book, recent advances in gene cloning and sequencing are examined. In the area of molecular genetics, where the most rapid developments have been made, more extensive background information is given and a glossary of terms is included. The impact of these exciting new developments on our understanding of gene structure and organization, immunogenetics, and the evolution of proteins is assessed. Finally, the uses of transgenic techniques and their implications are discussed. This book provides a clear and useful survey of the genetics and evolution of the domestic fowl, which will be of interest to postgraduate students and researchers in the fields of genetics, agriculture, and veterinary medicine, as well as to poultry breeders, both commercial and non-commercial.

Genetics and Evolution of the Domestic Fowl

Cambridge University Press

The biology of birds is diverse and frequently differs significantly from that of other vertebrates. Many birds migrate or fly at high altitudes, while egg-laying and feather production places high demands on nutrient uptake and storage. This book is the only comprehensive and up-to-date survey of avian biochemistry and molecular biology available. It emphasises the similarities and differences between birds and other vertebrates, concentrating on new developments. The first section deals with protein, lipid and carbohydrate metabolism, its hormonal control and the adaptations that occur in birds. The second covers the avian genome, gene expression, and avian immunology. Growth and embryological development are also discussed. Avian Biochemistry and Molecular Biology will be of interest to all those working on birds, especially postgraduate students and researchers.

Composers of Classical Music of Jewish Descent

This book describes and explains the relative preponderance of composers of Jewish descent, particularly during the last two hundred years. The first two chapters of the book give a brief history of composers of Jewish descent from biblical times to the present day. Chapter three attempts to assess the importance of such composers of classical music during the last two hundred years, and tries to explain their relative preponderance. The fourth chapter on Jewish consciousness shows that although most composers of Jewish descent have abandoned their faith or that of their forebears, the majority are nevertheless conscious of their Jewish heritage. The second and larger part of the book contains biographical sketches of over 250 composers of Jewish descent. Some are well known as composers, such as Mendelssohn, Mahler, Schoenberg, Copland, Gershwin; others are better known as performers or conductors, such as Klemperer, Schnabel; and yet others are often not generally identified as of Jewish descent, such as Finzi. Each composer entry has a brief bibliography. The book is intended for anyone with an interest in classical music and Judaism. It contains an extensive glossary of Hebrew and musical terms.

This important book attempts to analyze the reasons for the predominance in classical music of composers of Jewish descent while highlighting their role within the production of works of significant importance, particularly over the last two hundred years. Written in two parts, the larger second section provides an invaluable compilation of biographical sketches for over 250 composers of Jewish descent; some are well known as composers, for example, Mendelssohn, Mahler, Schoenberg, Copland and Gershwin, others are better known as performers or conductors, for example, Klemperer, Schnabel, and yet others are often not generally identified as of Jewish descent, for example, Finzi. Each composer entry has a brief bibliography. The book contains an extensive glossary of Hebrew and musical terms.
