Thiamine Catalytic Mechanisms in Normal and Disease States

Edited By Frank Jordan, Mulchand S. Patel Copyright 2003

    Thiamine: Catalytic Mechanisms in Normal and Disease States brings together the most recent developments in thiamine diphosphate (TDP)-requiring enzyme research and details the mechanisms of catalysis and structure-function relationships, as well as pathophysiological aspects of a spectrum of diseases associated with TDP-requiring enzymes. Providing new insights into neurogenerative diseases, this volume associates defects in the function of TDP-dependent enzymes with numerous metabolic disorders and disease states and offers novel aspects of thiamine enzymes in chiral synthesis as well as new perspectives on the cellular role of thiamine triphosphate and thiamine triphosphates.
