Tetrahydrobiopterin : Basic Biochemistry and Role in Human Disease

Resource Type

Book

Description

"Book News, Inc. Synthesizes what has been learned about the compound in the 35 years since it was discovered to be a naturally occurring cofactor for phenylalanine hydroxylase, thus opening the new field of enzymology dealing with pterin-dependent oxygenases. Discusses in detail not only the basic biochemistry, but also the clinical fields that have been changed by the compound. Extensive attention is also given to the amino acid hydroxylases because most of what is known about tetrahydrobiopterin derives from observing reactions between the two."--www.amazon.com
