Human Cytosolic Sulfotransferases

CRC Press, 2005

The existence of multiple sulfotransferases (SULTS) was first discovered in 1958. Since then, any attempts to create a comprehensive text dedicated to sulfation and sulfotransferases have been rare and, thanks to rapid advances in molecular biology and biochemistry, quickly outdated. However, those advances have permitted an accelerated...

Bayesian Biostatistics and Diagnostic Medicine
