This is the 12th volume in the Enzymology and Molecular Biology of Carbonyl Metabolism series. Within the text, the reader is given further valuable insight into Carbonyl Metabolism. This collection is the largest in its field of study and provides the deepest look into just three gene families. Through dozens of articles, molecular biological techniques are discussed, examining ways in which they are influencing the direction of research on Aldehyden Dehydrogenase, Alcohol Dehydrogenase, and Reductases.

The continuation of an annual series, Enzymology and Molecular Biology of Carbonyl Metabolism is the largest collection of articles on the three major gene families. The scope of the chapters, contributed by leading international scientists, is wide and covers gene regulation to enzyme mechanisms and protein structure. This is the only publication dealing in such depth with just three gene families. It is an important reference for researchers in toxicology and molecular biology.
