Summary:

Fraenkel (medicine, Harvard U.) discusses intermediary metabolism at a level accessible to readers with no more than a familiarity with general biochemistry, using the long-studied microbe Saccharomyces cerevisiae yeast as a case study. The handbook could also help researchers who work with yeast place reactions in a broader context, he says. He covers metabolism overall and its context; enzymes and coenzymes; the transport of small molecules; glycolysis and fermentation; respiration; non-glycolytic routes; amino acids, pyrimidines, and purines; carbohydrates, cofactors, and inorganic constituents; lipids; catabolism; and stress.
