Secondary Metabolism by J. Mann (English) Paperback Book

Description: Secondary Metabolism by J. Mann For this second edition, special mention has been made of the isolation and characterization of the enzymes of secondary metabolism. There is also a discussion of the new NMR techniques which have revolutionized the elucidation of biosynthetic pathways. FORMAT Paperback LANGUAGE English CONDITION Brand New Publisher Description The biosynthesis, biological activity, and ecological significance of secondary metabolites (natural products) are examined in this book. All the major classes of secondary metabolites are considered, according to the basic building blocks from which they are derived. Examples are given of compounds found in insects, plants, and microorganisms; and the pharmacological and toxicological properties are highlighted. In the final chapter, the possible ecologicalsignificance of secondary metabolites is explored, and this feature is of increasing interest to all those who study natural products For this second edition special mention hasbeen made of the isolation and characterization of the enzymes of secondary metabolism; and of the new NMR techniques which have revolutionized the elucidation of biosynthetic pathways. Author Biography J. Mann is at University of Reading. Table of Contents Introduction; secondary metabolites derived from acetate: fatty acids and polyketides; metabolites derived from mevalonate isoprenoids; metabolites derived from shikimic acid; the secondary metabolism of amino acids; metabolites of mixed biosynthetic origin; secondary metabolism and ecology. Review This book is well produced, pleasant to read, and can be recommended to students and others wishing for a conspectus of a large area of natural knowledge.

Review Text This book is well produced, pleasant to read, and can be recommended to students and others wishing for a conspectus of a large area of natural knowledge. Chemistry and Industry Review Quote "Will be of great interest to those biochemists and biologists who are concerned with the chemistry of life processes, particularly with the advances of the last decade or so....This is a well written textbook that has concise focused coverage, excellent chemical structures and pathways, and up-to-date suggestions for further reading keyed to each chapter. What I particularly liked were the brief historical and biological explanations given before each major metabolic group was discussed. This help put each type of compound into proper perspective with respect to general importance and motivation for doing the research." --The Quarterly Review of Biology "Extremely authoritative, concise, and up-to-date. . . Beautifully organized and copiously illustrated." --Biochemical Journal "An excellent account . . . May be recommended to all interested in natural product chemistry." --Biochemical Education Details ISBN0198555296 Author J.
