Publisher's Synopsis
The study of isozymes has proven vital to understanding the genetic-enzyme structure of organisms. This volume presents an interdisciplinary review of the latest developments in this field of research. Focusing primarily on genetic and biochemical data, it covers both basic and applied aspects of isozymic biology and describes a wide range of approaches, from molecular to systemic, in the analysis of the origin, structure and function of isozymes, as well as their use and synthesis via new transgenic technology.
