About the book
"Fundamentals of Enzymology gives an all-round view of the field including 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 also clinical and industrial applications of enzymology. Throughout the book, the integration of these themes is stressed."--Jacket.
