Explains the role of reactive intermediates in biological
systems as well as in environmental remediation
With its clear and systematic approach, this book examined the
broad range of reactive intermediate that can be generated in
biological environments, detailing the fundamental properties of
each reactive intermediate. Readers gain a contemporary
understanding of how these intermediates react with different
compounds, with an emphasis on amino acids, peptides, and proteins.
The author not only sets forth the basic chemistry and nature of
reactive intermediates, he also demonstrates how the properties of
the intermediates presented in the book compare with each
other.
"Oxidation of Amino Acids, Peptides, and Proteins" begins with a
discussion of radical and non-radical reactive species as well as
an exploration of the significance of reactive species in the
atmosphere, disinfection processes, and environmental remediation.
Next, the book covers such topics as: Thermodynamics of amino acids
and reactive species and the effect of metal-ligand binding in
oxidation chemistryKinetics and mechanisms of reactive halogen,
oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, sulfur and phosphate species as well as
reactive high-valent Cr, Mn, and Fe speciesReactivity of the
species with molecules of biological and environmental
importanceGeneration of reactive species in the laboratory for
kinetics studiesOxidation of amino acids, peptides, and proteins by
permanganate, ferryl, and ferrate speciesApplication of reactive
species in purifying water and treating wastewater
With this book as their guide, readers will be able to assess
the overall effects of reactive intermediates in biological
environments. Moreover, they'll learn how to apply this knowledge
for successful water purification and wastewater treatment.
