Biochemistry

The 2005 edition of the annual volume reviews the biochemistry of Parkinson's disease, applications of DNA microarrays in biology, delivery systems for gene therapy, the structural biology of type II fatty acid biosynthesis, and the classification of protein families. Other topics of the 28 articles include structural insights into translational fidelity, the function and formation of biological iron- sulfur clusters, eukaryotic translesion synthesis DNA polymerases, structural maintenance of chromosome (SMC) complexes, and antibiotics targeting ribosomes.
