About this product

Product Information

Excited states and free radicals are involved in the normal physiology of living systems; in pathological processes including lipid peoxidation, inflammation, Parkinson's disease, cancer, and ageing; in the mechanism of action of drugs, such as quinone antitumour agents, and in the photochemotherapies such as the PUVA therapy of skin diseases and PDT of cancer. The chief aim of this text is to introduce the reader to this rapidly expanding field, which lies at theborderlines of physics, chemistry, biology, pharmacology, and medicine, and, in particular, to explore how time-resolved spectroscopic methods have found solutions at the molecular level to biologicaland medical problems. In the first three chapters, the nature of excited states and free radicals, and the fast kinetic and spectroscopic techniques for their study are described. Amongst the biological areas described in the subsequent chapters are: activated oxygen species; DNA; proteins; carotenoids and photosynthetic reaction centres; photodermatology and melanogenesis; and aspects of cancer related to radio-, chemo-, and photodynamic therapy.

Reviews
'I recommend this book to both specialists and non-specialists who are interested in knowing more about the molecular basis of biological problems: it is comprehensive, easy to read and competitively priced. The authors should be commended, in my opinion, in having achieved their goal, on the whole, of preparing a text which should be useful to students, research scientists and clinicians who are interested in gaining a deeper appreciation of the molecularaspects of biological problems.'Peter O'Neill, Melanoma Research, Vol. 4, 1994, 'I recommend this book to both specialists and non-specialists who are interested in knowing more about the molecular basis of biological problems: it is comprehensive, easy to read and competitively priced.
