Uriel Bachrach; Yair M Heimer The Physiology of Polyamines, Volume I (Hardcover)

The area of polyamines is presented in this useful, two-volume publication The area of polyamines is presented in this useful, two-volume publication. Basic information describing the role of polyamines in the processes of growth and differentiation is given. Also included are data on the regulation of polyamine biosynthesis and metabolism and their interactions with nucleic acids. Several chapters are devoted to the role of polyamines in various aspects of plant biology, with a special emphasis on their participation in the response of plants to extreme environments. Special attention is given to the use of inhibitors of polyamine biosynthesis as potential antitumor and antiproliferative agents. Additionally, progress in the molecular biology and genetic engineering of genes coding for polyamine biosynthetic enzymes is described. Cancer researchers, biologists, geneticists, biochemists, physiologists, and clinicians will find this volume indispensable. • Author: Uriel Bachrach,Yair M Heimer • ISBN:9780849368080 • Format:Hardcover • Publication Date:1989-03-31
