Opis

This book concentrates on an emerging area of research on vitamin-binding proteins, with emphasis on the nature of the binding of the vitamin ligand to a protein and its sequela. The various groups of vitamin-binding proteins are particularly significant as they relate to the absorption of vitamins from the gastrointestinal tract and their extra- and intracellular transport function.
