✦ Synopsis

Sulfur plays many important roles in various biological phenomena. therefore, investigations of the chemical behavior of sulfur and sulfurcontaining substrates have been growing rapidly in recent years in both pure chemistry and biochemistry. Thus, it is quite timely that Volume 143 of Methods in Enzymology entitled Sulfur and Sulfur Amino Acids deals solely with these problems. This volume is divided into three sections: I, Separation and Analysis; II, Preparative Methods; and III, Enzymes. Section I has three subsections entitled (A) Inorganic Sulfur and Selenium Compounds, (B) Thiols and Disulfides, and (C) Other Organic Sulfur and Selenium Compounds. Section II also contains three subsections which are entitled (A) Preparation of Specific Metabolites, (B) General Preparative Technique, and (C) Nutritional Methods.
