چکیده
description of naturally occurring amino acids and peptides (Chapter I); among the former group more than 170 compounds have now been obtained from plant, animal, and microbial sources; in the latter group, the types of compound range from the simple dipeptides carnosine and anserine to the structurally complex antibiotics and peptide hormones. The role of amino acids in the nutrition of both higher and lower animals, of animal cells grown in tissue culture, and of microorganisms (Chapter II); this chapter also presents information concerning the ultilization of D-amino acids and a-keto acids in place of their more usual L-analogues. General aspects of physiology and biochemistry such as transport into cells, enzymecatalyzed transformations common to most amino acids, and the role of vitamin B6 as an essential part of many enzymes vital to amino acid metabolism (Chapter IV). The intermediary metabolism of the protein amino acids and of some of the more common nonprotein amino acids (Chapter VI). The text is fully documented by appropriate literature citations which thoroughly cover the scientific literature up to the beginning of 1964 and, in some cases, extend through the middle of that year. Each volume contains its own author index as well as a subject index for the complete, two-volume text. The wealth of information provided in text and references makes this an invaluable, and comprehensive, source book for the investigator or student with an interest in any aspect of amino acid biochemistry.
