This comprehensive resource on sulfurtransferases explores their vital roles in biology, health, and drug discovery, making it essential for researchers and clinicians alike.
The book Sulfurtransferases serves as the first comprehensive guide to this vital class of enzymes, essential for life. It begins with an insightful introduction from the editors, setting the stage for the detailed exploration that follows. Each chapter is dedicated to a specific sulfurtransferase, delving into its fundamental biology and significance in maintaining health, as well as its role in various diseases. The book also highlights the potential of these enzymes in drug discovery and other biotechnological applications, making it an invaluable resource for researchers and clinicians alike.
In Sulfurtransferases, the authors provide an in-depth examination of the physiological functions of each enzyme, discussing their regulation mechanisms and the pharmacological inhibitors that can influence their activity. The text also addresses the pathologies and conditions that arise from altered enzymatic functions, ensuring a comprehensive understanding of the implications of sulfurtransferases in health and disease. Enzymes such as rhodanese, MST, and biotin synthase are explored, among others, providing a thorough overview of this diverse and significant group of proteins.
This book is designed not only for researchers looking to expand their knowledge of sulfurtransferases but also for clinicians eager to apply recent findings in their medical practice. By presenting key knowledge and recent advancements, Sulfurtransferases aims to inspire new studies and innovations in this increasingly relevant field.
“...one of the most recent volumes in the Foundations and Frontiers in Enzymology series…. [that] intends to "shed further light" on this "novel research topic" with an emphasis on highlighting the essential nature of this family of enzymes for life…. [It] provides a readable survey of a significant segment of this enzyme family.” --©Doody’s Review Service, 2023, Peter J. Kennelly, PhD (Virginia Tech)
