Presentation / Conference Contribution
Carnegie, E. (2005, September). An exploration of community health from an environmental justice perspective. Paper presented at Health Protection Agency Annual Conference 2005, University of Warwick

Public health interventions need to be based on theoretical approaches that seek to elucidate environmental components within health inequalities. Protection of the environment will lead to stronger communities in the long term. The new public health...

During growth of Escherichia coli on acetate, phosphotransacetylase and -ketoglutarate dehydrogenase are in direct competition for their common co-factor, HS-CoA. Such competition is resolved in favour of phosphotransacetylase, thus rendering -ketogl...
