Book SynopsisOver the past forty thousand years a collective domestication has occurred that brings us to where we are today - humans have formed intense bonds with dogs, and the adoration is almost always reciprocal. This title considers the far-reaching consequences of the coevolution of dogs and humans, drawing upon scientific research.Trade Review"I greatly enjoyed this remarkable book, not only for it's captivating narrative, but also for fascinating information which will surprise even those who love animals and are attuned to the natural world. Jeffrey Masson writes amazing books, and this one is true to form. It's excellent." -- Elizabeth Marshall Thomas, author of The Hidden Life of Dogs "In his story of Benjy, the dog who couldn't stop loving, Masson does a thought-provoking job of leveling the playing field between us and other species while also posing fascinating questions about the emotional makeup of our closest companion in the animal kingdom, our dogs." -- Ted Kerasote, author of Merle's Door "Masson is at his most personal and appealing in this book, especially when he writes about Benjy." -- Publishers Weekly "An enjoyable book for dog lovers." -- Kirkus Reviews

Book SynopsisCellular proteinases and their physiological role in normal and disease states have been the subject of great interest over recent decades. At present, specific protease inhibitors are exploited both as tools in unraveling the role of individual proteinases in particular cellular processes and for the development of chemotherapeutic agents for the treatment of various disorders. Proteinase and Peptidase Inhibition presents updated progress reports on the characterization of a wide range of cellular proteinases whose inhibitors may hold the key to the development of new drugs. Introductory chapters deal with the broad enzyme classes, inhibitor types and regulatory mechanisms governing proteinase activity. The target enzymes themselves, together with all aspects of their inhibition and inhibitor design, are comprehensively described. The classification of target enzymes by structural similarity, rather than by pharmacological effects, provides a new and coherent platform for understandinTable of ContentsEnzyme Classes and Mechanisms.

Book SynopsisThe existence of multiple sulfotransferases (SULTS) was first discovered in 1958. Since then, any attempts to create a comprehensive text dedicated to sulfation and sulfotransferases have been rare and, thanks to rapid advances in molecular biology and biochemistry, quickly outdated. However, those advances have permitted an accelerated understanding of human sulfotransferase activity and with it the creation of a growing database on sulfotransferases that, until now, has remained scattered in the literature. Human Cytosolic Sulfotransferases serves an important function by the mere feat of culling the information from the literature to present an up-to-date summary of the field. Fortunately, the editors have gone a step further in providing us with a multidisciplinary overview of human sulfotransferases, covering not only basic biochemistry, genetics, and molecular biology, but also exploring current clinical uses involving pharmacology, enzymology, and environmental toxicoloTable of ContentsNomenclature.
