Author Description

Written by acclaimed scientists, Current Advances in Vitamine K Research reflects the growing number of new studies devoted to the molecular biology of vitamin K-dependent proteins. This timely volume is based on the proceedings of the Seventeenth Steenbock Symposium held June 21-25, 1987, in Madison, Wisconsin. Current Advances in Vitamin K Research includes such areas of investigation as: * the role of recombinant vitamin K-dependent proteins as useful drugs. * the nutritional aspects of vitamin K. * the enzymology of vitamin K-dependent reactions. * the interaction of vitamin K-dependent proteins with calcium and phospholipids. * anticoagulant resistant rodents. This up-to-date volume will interest researchers in a variety of specialities including chemistry, biochemistry, pharmacology, toxicology, immunology, gastroenterology, hematology and nutrition.
