BOOK
VOLUME VII: Metabolism of Sulfur Compounds
Metabolic Pathways, Third Edition: Volume VII—Metabolism of Sulfur Compounds presents a comprehensive and authoritative treatment of sulfur metabolism in biological systems. The volume covers the biosynthesis, degradation, and physiological roles of major sulfur-containing molecules, including coenzyme A, biotin, thiamine, lipoic acid, glutathione, cysteine, cystine, methionine, and riboflavin.
In addition, the book examines sulfate activation and transfer, oxidative metabolism of sulfur amino acids in animal tissues, and enzymatic sulfur transfer reactions, such as those mediated by thiosulfate sulfurtransferase and mercaptopyruvate sulfurtransferase. The final chapters address human diseases caused by enzyme defects in sulfur amino acid metabolism, making the volume highly relevant to both biochemists and medical researchers.
This work includes extensive bibliographical references and serves as a foundational reference in biochemical education and research.
