Originally published in 1987 this title is an introduction to biosynthesis. Biosynthesis means integration of life . It is a holistic form of body psychotherapy which was founded over forty-five years ago. The concept of life-streams is one of its major foundations... Lees meer.

Glutathione GSH is a ubiquitous tripeptide y-L-gluatamyl-Lcysteinyl-glycin playing an important role in cellular redox homeostasis defence against electrophilyc reactive species and control of several cellular events among others. Most of these cellular functions... Lees meer.

Creatine -N-methylguanidino acetic acid is a naturally occurring nitrogenous organic acid synthesised in the kidneys liver pancreas and brain in less quantity or obtained from a regular diet or as ergogenic nutritional supplement. Creatine is a popular and widely... Lees meer.

The sulphur amino acid cysteine plays an essential role in maintaining cellular redox potential and is a key constituent of the antioxidant glutathione. Cysteine is highly reactive and readily oxidises to the disulfide form cystine producing oxygen radicals as a by... Lees meer.

Volume 3. Substantially revised edition Plant hormones play a crucial role in controlling the way in which plants grow and develop. While metabolism provides the power and building blocks for plant life it is the hormones that regulate the speed of growth of the indi... Lees meer.

For many years studies of the structure and biosynthesis of saccharides formed a specialised and somewhat abstruse part of biochemistry with little or no place in molecular biology. In recent years this has changed profoundly as has the character of much of carbohydra... Lees meer.
