Concerned with discovering the chemical pathways of biosynthesis, this book devotes four chapters to the use of isotopes in biosynthetic research and the biosynthesis of enzyme cofactors and vitamin B12 and of reduced polyketides such as ...

Focusing on biosynthesis, this book provides readers with approaches and methodologies for modern organic synthesis.

The approach of this book is to codify the chemical logic that underlies each natural product structural class as they are assembled from building blocks of primary metabolism.

Topics covered in this book include the chemistry of intermediates in the shikimate pathway; biosynthesis of aromatic amino acids in this pathway; its metabolites; and its role in higher plants.

This book describes biosynthetic methods to synthesize heterocyclic compounds, offering a guide for the development of new drugs based on natural products.

This work covers the biosynthesis of natural antibiotics, amino acids, enzymes, fatty acids, and vitamins. This book will prove useful to organic chemists and researchers.

This book presents the current knowledge of fundamental as well as applied microbiology of amino acids.

This book is the second of two volumes that deal with discovery of chemical pathways of biosynthesis of natural products (secondary metabolites).

This new volume of Methods in Enzymology continues the legacy of this premier serial by containing quality chapters authored by leaders in the field.
