A compendium of review articles published in the "Biochemical Journal" in 1993. Topics covered include: protein kinase C isoenzymes - divergence in signal transduction?; and the structure, biosynthesis and function of glycosylated phosphatidylinositols in the parasitic protozoa.

This compendium contains the review articles published in the "Biochemical Review" in 1993. The reviews provide the opportunity for research workers to gain an overview of the areas outside their own particular speciality, and the compilation is also an important source of teaching material. The reviews fall into seven sections: gene structure and expression; cell biology and development; proteins; receptors and signal transductions; membranes and bioenergetics; regulation of metabolsim; carbohydrates and lipids.
