Free Radicals: A Practical Approach (Practical Approach Series) [Paperback]

Neville Punchard (Editor), Frank Kelly (Editor)

Book Description

Publication Date: October 10, 1996 | ISBN-10: 0199635595 | ISBN-13: 978-0199635597 | Edition: 1

With the recognition that oxygen and nitrogen radicals are involved in normal cell metabolism, free radical research has begun to feature in most disciplines in the life sciences. Increasingly, their implication in a number of human disease processes is being accepted, altough conclusive evidence is lacking in many instances, partly due to the difficulties in detecting and measuring free radicals that have lifetimes measured in microseconds. This book outlines the latest techniques for quantifying radicals and their effects, and features detailed protocols, hints, and tips for success, troubleshooting comments, sample data, and key literature citations.

Editorial Reviews

Review

"Introductory sections to each chapter are in themselves small masterpieces of explanation of the states of the arts for which the protocols are relevant...This book will be not just a laboratory manual but should be a bestseller in the student market."--Times Higher Education Supplement
