Functional Metabolism Regulation and Adaptation

Functional Metabolism: Regulation and Adaptation

Functional Metabolism: Regulation and Adaptation, edited by Kenneth B. Storey, explores how metabolic pathways are regulated and adapted across organisms. It examines carbohydrate, lipid, and amino acid metabolism, connecting biochemical processes with cellular function, disease, development, aging, and environmental adaptation. The book also discusses molecular genetics and bioinformatics in metabolic research, making it a valuable resource for advanced students and researchers in biochemistry and biomedical sciences.
