Amino acids in human nutrition and health

The chapters in this book are arranged within a thematic structure as indicated in the sections below. The first part pursues the theme of amino acid metabolism through the driving actions of the principal enzymes, emphasizing recent developments particularly with reference to localization, molecular genetics, biophysical characterization and regulation. Subsequent chapters will also demonstrate the changing facets of amino acid biochemistry. The competing actions of enzymes for critical substrates are also features of relevance in this section. A number of the enzymes under review here catalyse rate-limiting steps in important metabolic pathways, leading to synthesis of physiologically active intermediates and end products. There is scope for elaboration of the important pathways initiated by enzymes under review in this section.
