Techniques in Free Radical Research

Wednesday, January 7th, 2009


* Publisher: Elsevier Science&Technology
* Number Of Pages: 292
* Publication Date: 1991-12-01
* ISBN-10 / ASIN: 0444813047
* ISBN-13 / EAN: 9780444813046

Product Description:
Paperback. Free radical species are generally short-lived due to their high reactivity and thus direct measurement and identification are often impossible. ESR is the only technique which has the potential for direct detection of radicals but in biological systems even these must be trapped by a spin-trapping agent. Thus most investigations involve recognition of indicators of the presence of radicals in vivo or “FOOTPRINTS” of radical-mediated damage.

Product Description:
Hardbound. This comprehensive compilation provides a wealth of information on receptor sequences produced by recombinant DNA techniques used in combination with classical biochemistry. To minimize redundancies in this wealth of information, only a few receptors (some of which are typical for a whole group of similar receptors, others which are presently of special interest) are dealt with in a full-size chapter. Others are represented in the TIPS Receptor Nomenclature Supplement which is included as a special feature in this book, making this volume more useful as a receptor handbook.
