Paperback. Condición: New. Print on Demand. A discussion of enzymes and their action in the human body. The author, an expert in physiological chemistry, begins with a basic introduction to enzymes, describing what they are, their classification and their properties, before explaining how they facilitate chemical reactions in our cells. The book thoroughly examines the most important enzymes in detail, explaining what they do, their distribution, their substrate, and their end -products. One particularly interesting section examines the emerging field of 'defensive enzymes', which are believed to be manufactured by specific cells, then passed into the bloodstream, to digest any foreign material that may have found its way into the body. The book touches upon the history of enzyme research to provide a foundation for understanding modern-day developments. This book is essential reading for anyone with an interest in physiological chemistry or human biology.
