The study of multienzyme systems has advanced considerably during the least decade. The cell is more complicated than classical biochemistry presents it, it contains more structure, and the behaviour of any system of enzymes is more elaborate than can be explained in simple terms. Nevertheless, classical enzymology and metabolism remain central to any modification of the metabolic behaviour of organisms, as attempted by
modern biotechnology and drug development techniques. In this cool, objective look at the
current state of the art, internationally respected authors draw attention to the drawbacks, problems, and opportunities associated with this exciting field. The areas covered include
