Techniques in free radical research: (Laboratory techniques in biochemistry and molecular biology, volume 22)

Abstract

Students arc usually advised to provide in their reports brief, but conci~, details of their experimental protocols [n order that tlterc is sufficient information for the experiment to be duplicated by others, Unfortunately in published paints this is not always the ease, and much time ratty ~ wasted in trying to follow a published pr~.¢dur¢only to find, after considerable effort, that a small but c._~ntial detail was orailted, One pa.~icuhr purpote of a book such as this may beto provide tried and tested experimental protocols in order that a rcrcarch project may nmvc more rapidly to its particular objectiv=.Research into the involvement of free radicals in biochemistry, biology and medicine has expanded vastly i. the last ten years, and now must represent a tnajor area of activity.Different disciplines interact strongly within the field of free radical tea:arch, and so practical help may be csl~:cially welcome.This book is written by thr~ well-know, and active workers in this urea and concentrates on practical aspects of a biochemical nature.It provides details of methodology in tltc areas of free radical production and ~mracterization, a.ays for antioxidant nutri©nts and enzyme, and methods for tl~e detection of free radicals and their reaction
