The Biochemistry of Inorganic Polyphosphates

Now in a second edition, <i>Biochemistry of Inorganic Polyphosphates</i> fills the need for an exhaustive resource on inorganic polyphosphate metabolism. The authors describe the structure and properties of these compounds and presents a comparative analysis of the newest and traditional methods of their extraction from cells. Distribution of polyphosphates in organisms, their localization in cells and tissues is also described. <ul> <li>Comprehensive presentation of inorganic polyphosphate metabolism</li> <li>Follows polyphosphates in cells of organisms from different stages of evolution</li> <li>Presents methods for the analysis and study of polyP-dependent enzymes</li> <li>Comprehensive information on genetics, metabolism and biotechnology of polyphosphates</li> <li>Textbook and reference work on all aspects of polyphosphates</li> </ul>
