    About this ebook

    FEBS: Federation of European Biochemical Societies, Volume 57: Antimetabolites in Biochemistry, Biology, and Medicine is a collection of papers that presents that advancement in the field of antimetabolites research. The title first covers the use of antimetabolites in enzymology, and then proceeds to tackling the consequences of analog incorporation into nucleic acids. Next, the selection discusses the rational approach to the use of antimetabolite in commination cancer chemotherapy an in immunosuppression. The text also covers the aspects of selective antiviral action. In the last part, the selection details various compounds, along with their synthesis and mechanisms of action. The book will be of great use to researchers and practitioners of biochemistry, biology, and medicine.
