This is a useful little book and in fact despite its small size it is packed with information...The book covers a wide range of up-to-date biochemistry. The index is quite comprehensive and the diagrams clear and simple. Biochemical Education; The first edition was good, but this update is even better. Professor Cohen has produced an eminently readable little book that provides an invaluable pocket guide to all those interested in the regulation of enzyme activity..It will undoubtedly be essential reading for undergraduates and is a worthy addition to anyone's library.

• 1 Introduction.- 2 Regulation of amino acid and nucleotide biosynthesis in bacteria by end product inhibition.- 3 The initiation of biological function by limited proteolysis.- 4 Enzyme regulation by reversible phosphorylation: the neural and hormonal control of cellular activity.- 5 Control of enzyme activity by covalent modifications other than limited proteolysis or phosphorylation.- 6 The nature of the allosteric transition.
