Böcker i Structure Energetics and Reactivity in Chemistry Series-serien

Taking an interdisciplinary approach, this book and its counterpart, Active Oxygen in Biochemistry, explore the active research area of the chemistry and biochemistry of oxygen. Complementary but independent, the two volumes integrate subject areas including medicine, biology, chemistry, engineering, and environmental studies.

This volume surveys oxidation activities in key biological systems, including heme proteins and enzymes, oxygenases and oxidases, photosynthetic systems, and cell and tissue damage.

This volume provides a critical description of the methods used to probe the energetics of organic free radicals, including: methods in gas-phase and in solution, appearance energy measurements, photoacoustic calorimetry, electrochemical techniques and theoretical calculations.
