Methods of Enzymatic Analysis, Volume 4 reviews developments in the use of enzymes as tools in analytical biochemistry, including advances in assay techniques. It discusses the principles and methods for the elucidation of structures of enzymes, such as peptides, proteins, amino acids, fatty acid metabolites, lipids, steroids, nucleic acids, purines, pyrimidines, nucleosides, and coenzymes. It also considers the isolation and characterization of active centers in enzymes. This volume is divided into four parts, each discussing a group of enzymes and their determination. Part I focuses on proteins, peptides, and amino acids including amines and amides. Part II is concerned with fatty acid metabolites, lipids, and steroids ranging from polyunsaturated fatty acids and lecithin to choline, acetylcholine, triglycerides, glycerol, acetoacetate, triacetate, fumarylacetoacetate, 20-ketosteroids, prostaglandins, bile acids, and cholesterol. Part III discusses nucleic acids, purines, pyrimidines, nucleosides, coenzymes, and related compounds, whereas Part IV looks at other substrates and effectors such as inorganic phosphate. The book concludes with a chapter on metabolites and their concentrations in animal tissues. Biochemists as well as students and researchers working in the field of analytical biochemistry will find this book highly informative.

Methods of Enzymatic Analysis focuses on the general progress in enzymology and in the special field of enzymatic analysis. This book explores the commercial production of biochemical reagents for analysis and explains the transition from the possible use of enzymatic analysis to its various applications in pure and applied biochemistry. Organized into four sections, this book starts with an overview of the basis of enzymatic analysis and provides general experimental guidelines for the techniques of measurement and for the disintegration of cells and tissues. This text then provides detailed instructions for the determination of substrates and assay of enzyme activities. Other chapters explore the practical aspects and information necessary for the application of reagents to enzymatic analysis, including sources, stability, and purity required. The final section describes the commercially available enzymes, coenzymes, substrates, and several less common reagents. Biochemists, biophysicists, researchers, and graduate students will find this book extremely useful.

Volume 3 of the landmark treatise Food Analysis: Principles and Techniques provides a distinctive, comprehensive treatment of biological techniques utilized in the analysis of food constituents, ranging from the use of biologically active molecules -- the enzymes -- to the employment of cell cultures, microorganisms, and whole animals. Volume 3: Biological Techniques eliminates the problem of searching through widely scattered sources to achieve thorough understanding of the principles and techniques used in this area. In self-contained chapters -- written by renowned investigators to assure authoritative, up-to-date coverage -- this unique resource systematically presents detailed background information for each technique to provide a solid conceptual framework ... details specific applications and procedures, including numerous illustrative examples ... discusses advantages and limitations for each technique to help you select appropriate techniques for your needs ... and compares and contrasts the biological assay techniques with instrumental methods to enhance fuller understanding of the field. Unmatched in scope, Biological Techniques -- like its companion volumes in this important 8-volume set -- reflects the broad-ranging recent developments in the field and is a requisite source for all food analysts in industry, government, and academia, including food scientists, nutritionists, biochemists, microbiologists, toxicologists, biologists, and environmental chemists. Additionally, graduate students in food science and nutrition will find each volume of this work indispensable in their studies. Book jacket.

This Symposium on Modern Methods of Food Analysis was the sev enth in a series of basic symposia, begun in 1976, on topics of major importance to food scientists and food technologists. The Symposium, sponsored jointly by the Institute of Food Technologists and the In ternational Union of Food Science and Technology, was held June 17 and 18, 1983, in New Orleans immediately prior to the 43rd annual 1FT meeting. Like the other six basic symposia, the program brought together outstanding speakers, from biochemistry, chemistry, food science, microbiology and nutrition, who are at the cutting edge of their specialty, and provided a setting where they could interact with each other and with the participants. The Symposium and this book are dedicated to the memory of George F. Stewart (1908-1982) who made so many important contributions to the field of food science, including that of food analysis. Bernard S. Schweigert has documented George F. Stewart's contributions in the Dedication of this book.

Newer Methods of Nutritional Biochemistry: With Applications and Interpretations, Volume IV, presents discussions and reviews of principles and procedures of nutritional biochemistry which have been developed for assays of nutritive quality of foods. Comprised of six chapters, this book describes determinations of dietary needs of fats, vitamins, and amino acids which fail to apply the long-known ""Law of Diminishing Returns"" to the experimental data. It examines the correlation of urinary metabolites with dietary conditions from the point of view of the dynamic state of metabolism. The book also discusses analytical methods for determining plasma amino acids and their application to nutritional problems of young children; laboratory methods for evaluating changes in protein quality; optimal nutrition for the aged and basic mechanisms of biological aging; and advances in instrumentation and methodology and their application in resolving biological and nutritional problems.

Limnology is increasingly concerned with water supply and the relation of man to aquatic environments. Without the continued availability of pure water, all progress in technology and other fields of human life will be to no avail. The global problems concerning clear water are already extremely pressing. More limnology knowledge is needed to solve these problems. The responsibility of man to save water and to take more intensive care of the environment is raised in many of the papers, in this book. This emphasizes the necessary and unquestionable relevance of limnology to human society. Too often the abuse of water usage reflects the neglect of scientific results. Limnologists have a responsibility to ensure that administrators understand what is going on. The coverage of the book is wide, including papers on microbiology to engineering sciences. The biology of waters is handled at both species and ecosystem levels. The geographical distribution of topics ranges from the tropics to northern temperate areas. In fact, limnology is increasingly becoming a science which is, rightly, relevant to everyday life, not just an academic subject.
