In the first edition of The Enzymes of Biological Membranes, published in four volumes in 1976, we collected the mass of widely scattered information on membrane-linked enzymes and metabolic processes up to about 1975. This was a period of transition from the romantic phase of membrane biochemistry, preoccupied with conceptual developments and the general properties of membranes, to an era of mounting interest in the specific properties of membrane-linked enzymes analyzed from the viewpoints of modem enzymology. The level of sophistication in various areas of membrane research varied widely;...

There is little need to emphasize the importance of membrane-linked enzymes parti cipating in phospholipid, sterol, protein, and glycoprotein synthesis or in the synthesis of bacterial cell wall. Chapters on these topics constitute the core of the second volume of The Enzymes of Biological Membranes. In addition the volume contains an elegant chapter on galactosaminyl and galactosyl transferases in virus-transformed cells and separate chapters on glucose-6-phosphatase, pyruvate oxidase, UDP glucuronyl transferase, and the role of platelet membrane enzymes in hemostasis. In all there are well...

Much of the information currently available on the transport systems of bacterial and animal cell membranes and their mode of coupling to metabolic supply of energy can be found in this volume. Consideration of the participating enzymes dictated the choice of topics: Several transport systems where little information is available on the enzymology of the process are not included, while separate chapters deal with y-glutamyl transpeptidase and intestinal disaccharidases which meet many of the requirements of transport enzymes. The volume also includes two chapters on photosynthetic membranes...
