Chemistry and Biochemistry of B12

"Over the past decade, the field of B(subscript 12) research has been revolutionized by such major breakthroughs as the unraveling of the entire biosynthetic pathway for this important vitamin. This comprehensive compendium surveys the wealth of information that has accumulated, covering in one volume virtually all aspects of the field - from physical and inorganic chemistry to enzymology, microbiology, medicine, and diagnostic and therapeutic applications."--BOOK JACKET.
