Clinical Enzymology

edited by G. J. Martin, Little, Brown and Company, Boston, 1958

Michigan State University, East Lansing

ABSTRACT

The book of 229 pages consists of the following chapters: (1) Protein Biology, G. J. Martin; (2) Chemistry of Enzymes Used Clinically, M. J. Sullivan; (3) Biochemistry of Enzymes Used Clinically, J. M. Beiler; (4) Parenteral Use of Enzymes in Medicine, H. Tanyol, W. M. Swain, and J. M. Beiler; (5) Diagnostic Use of Enzymes, G. V. Rossi; (6) Polymerases in Biology, G. J. Martin; (7) Recapitulation and Perspectives for Clinical Enzymology, G. J. Martin.

The book contains three kinds of contributions. The three chapters by Martin resemble essays, presenting his philosophy of molecular biology and the role and nature of enzymes. A second portion presents chemical and physical information on the nature of enzymes used clinically. The third portion is a relatively more detailed review of the clinical use of enzymes in therapy and in diagnosis.
