Essays in Biochemistry

Polyamine biochemistry is fascinating. The metabolic pathway undergoes complex and intricate regulation which is positively associated with the control of cell growth.

Metabolism is altered significantly in diseases such as cancer, resulting in the pathway being identified as a target for the design of anticancer drugs. A recent upsurge in interest in the polyamines, including the development of transgenic models, has highlighted the biochemical importance of these molecules.
