Book Review: The Collagens: Biochemistry and Pathophysiology

Tetrahydrobiopterin: biochemistry and pathophysiology.

BH4 (6R-L-erythro-5,6,7,8-tetrahydrobiopterin) is an essential cofactor of a set of enzymes that are of central metabolic importance, including four aromatic amino acid hydroxylases, alkylglycerol mono-oxygenase and three NOS (NO synthase) isoenzymes. Consequently, BH4 is present in probably every cell or tissue of higher organisms and plays a key role in a number of biological processes and pa...

A Guide-book to Biochemistry

An offer of guidance through biochemistry in the space of 150 pages cannot fail to evoke an eager response. We must agree with the author as to the need, as an introduction, for something less formidable than most of the current textbooks. This little book offers us, in the author's words, the bare bones, and is intended for students in a first biochemistry course and for those wondering whethe...

Review Biochemistry, Physiology, and Pathophysiology of NADPH Oxidases in the Cardiovascular System

The NADPH oxidase (Nox) enzymes are critical mediators of cardiovascular physiology and pathophysiology. These proteins are expressed in virtually all cardiovascular cells, and regulate such diverse functions as differentiation, proliferation, apoptosis, senescence, inflammatory responses and oxygen sensing. They target a number of important signaling molecules, including kinases, phosphatases,...
