The Biochemistry of Inorganic Polyphosphates

Now in a second edition, Biochemistry of Inorganic Polyphosphates fills the need for an exhaustive resource on inorganic polyphosphate metabolism. The authors describe the structure and properties of these compounds and presents a comparative analysis of the newest and traditional methods of their extraction from cells. Distribution of polyphosphates in organisms, their localization in cells and tissues is also described. Comprehensive presentation of inorganic polyphosphate metabolismFollows polyphosphates in cells of organisms from different stages of evolutionPresents methods for the analysis and study of polyP-dependent enzymesComprehensive information on genetics, metabolism and biotechnology of polyphosphatesTextbook and reference work on all aspects of polyphosphates.
