The emphasis in this volume will be seen to have become increasingly biochemical. Significant advances are being made in the study of biosynthetic processes in isolated tissues, cell homogenates, and cell-free systems, and much of the work reviewed here deals with the enzymolo of the synthetic processes under discussion. It is to be expected that this trend will continue and that future volumes of this series will witness an increasingly rapid dissolution of the chemical-biological interface. 

The growth rate for tracers labeled with short-Hved isotopes such as P and was about 10—15% per year from 1990 through 1994. This trend reflects the increased use of these radiochemicals for research in molecular biology and genetics I-labeled tracers have also exhibited similar growth rates in this period. On the other hand, the market for C- and H-labeled chemicals essentiaHy leveled off The overaH growth rate for aH tracer chemicals was estimated at 5%/yr for 1990—1994. 

The series Topics in Current Chemistry presents critical reviews of the present and future trends in modem chemical research. The scope includes all areas of chemical science, including the interfaces with related disciphnes such as biology, medicine, and materials science.
