Biography
Raymond S. Ochs is a biochemist with a career-long specialty in metabolism spanning 40 years. Previously, he has written the textbook Biochemistry and the monograph Metabolic Structure and Regulation; contributed the metabolism chapters to another text, Principles of Biochemistry; and co-edited a collection of articles published as Metabolic Regulation. His research interests concern major pathways of the liver and the muscle, including glycolysis, gluconeogenesis, ureogenesis, fatty acid metabolism, glycogen metabolism, and control by cAMP, Ca2+, diacylglycerol, and AMPK. He was professor of pharmacy at St. John’s University in New York, teaching biochemistry, physiology, and medicinal chemistry.
