"Chemical physics is a science of the physical foundations of
chemical transformations" (N. N. Semenov). The main objective of
chemical physics is to disclose the detailed mechanism of chemical
reactions and to learn to control these processes. The
physico-chemical approach hinges upon the extensive application of
methods of molecular physics and chemical kinetics. Based
originally on simple gas-phase processes, chemical physics
gradually extended its sphere of interest to liquid-phase reactions
and to processes taking place in solids, including polymers. At
present, we witness the fact that the ideas and methods of this
science penetrate deeper and deeper into modern molecular biology,
including enzyme catalysis. This monograph treats, from the
standpoint of modern chemical physics, the principal general and
individual features of the structure and mechanism of action of
various classes of oxidation-reduction (redox) metalloenzymes.
There are several reasons for which this branch of science attracts
the attention of specialists in various fields - from biologists
and those working in medicine to chemists and theoretical
physicists. First of all, is the enormous biological and
biochemical importance of processes catalyzed by metalloenzymes.
These include biological ox idation with oxygen, oxidative and
photo-phosphorylation, atmospheric nitrogen fixation, assimilation
of nitrates and sulphites, phototransport of electrons, hydrogen
evolution and hydrogenation and photo-oxida tion of water, which is
far from a complete list of such processes."
