Amino acid metabolism

This book is Part A in a subseries entitled "Amino Acid Metabolism". Topics in Part A should be of immediate interest to those who are broadly concerned with amino acid assimilation and metabolism. Investigators interested in enzyme mechanism and regulation will also find this volume especially valuable.
