Protein Biosynthesis Interference in Disease offers a thorough discussion and overview of protein biosynthesis interference, its mechanisms of action, and influence over disease processes. This book examines the role of protein biosynthesis interference in Alzheimer’s and other neurodegenerative conditions, cancer and inflammatory disorders, with specific attention paid to the biochemical dynamics of tryptamine, biogenic amines and aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases in these pathologies. Methods of regulating protein translation and interference mechanisms, including gene therapy, are presented, empowering biochemists, molecular biologists, disease researchers, and health professionals to understand the underlying factors of protein disease and improve patient outcomes.
- Enables biochemists, molecular biologists and disease researchers to advance disease prevention, laboratory testing, and treatment pathways for protein biosynthesis interference related disorders
- Examines the biochemical and molecular basis of protein biosynthesis interference in neurodegenerative disorders, cancer and inflammatory conditions, among other diseases
- Analyzes tryptamine, biogenic amines, and aminoacyl-tRNA synthetases dynamics in protein translation and possible treatment pathways regulating protein biosynthesis
Active researchers and students of biochemistry, molecular biology, cellular biology, neuroscience, protein biochemistry, and nutrition. Clinicians and students of life science and medicine
