this Entry In The Methods In Enzymology Series Is The First Volume Of A Two-part Set, Both Of Which Present Various Aspects Of Nitric Oxide Chemistry, Biology, And Biochemistry. This Volume Presents Chemical And Biological Aspects Of Nitric Oxide, Methods Used For Characterization Of Sources Of Nitric Oxide, Methods For Detection Of Nitric Oxide, Aspects Of Nitric Oxide Donors And Nitric Acid Deactivation, And Various Aspects Of The Biochemistry And Molecular Biology Of Enzymes And Proteins Associated With Nitric Oxide Metabolism. This Book Is Meant To Provide Useful Information To Overcome Difficulties In Studies In An Area That Has Become Very Relevant Yet Very Complex, Chemically And Biochemically, And That Has Continued To Evolve At A Rapid Rate. The Audience Is Intended To Be Biochemists And Pharmacologists. However, Because Nitric Oxide Is So Ubiquitous And So Many Diverse Topics Are Covered, This Book Should Be Useful To Cell Biologists And Physiologists As Well. Because Of The Numerous Topics, This Book Is Recommended Not Only For Researchers In This Area, But Also For Those Just Entering The Area Or Those Who Simply Require Additional Background Information. This Attractive Volume Is Well Written, Indexed, And Illustrated With Numerous Figures That, Very Importantly, Add To The Technical Descriptions. The Methods In Enzymology Format Adds Greatly To The Appearance. Because This Area Is So Expansive As A Result Of The Ubiquitous Nature Of Nitric Oxide, A Timely Review Such As This, Which Brings Together Relevant Topics, Is Of Great Value. This Book Should Be On The Bookshelf Of Any Biological Or Medical Sciences Library And Is Certainly Very Highly Recommended Forinvestigators In This Area Or, Because This Area Is Expanding So Rapidly, For Investigators With Only An Indirect Interest.
