Current Topics in Cellular Regulation, Volume 33: From Metabolite, to Metabolism, to Metabolon is a collection of articles on the study of the machinery of the living cell. The book is also a tribute to Paul Srere, an eminent biochemist, on the occasion of his sixty-fifth birthday. The book contains contributions written by students, postdoctoral fellows, and biochemists within Paul Srere''s broad sphere of influence. The text provides articles that discuss topics on cellular infrastructure and metabolic organization; how carbohydrates cross the lipid membrane of bacterial cells; and macromolecular processes. The structural aspects of citrate biochemistry; the electron transport systems; nucleotide biosynthesis; enzyme organization and the direction of metabolic flow; and bioengineering applications are tackled as well. Biochemists, cytologists, and cell biologists will find the book very insightful.
