Book Description
This volume on iron-sulfur proteins includes chapters that describe the initial discovery of iron-sulfur proteins in the 1960s to elucidation of the roles of iron sulfur clusters as prosthetic groups of enzymes, such as the citric acid cycle enzyme, aconitase, and numerous other proteins, ranging from nitrogenase to DNA repair proteins. The capacity of iron sulfur clusters to accept and delocalize single electrons is explained by basic chemical principles, which illustrate why iron sulfur proteins are uniquely suitable for electron transport and other activities. Techniques used for detection and stabilization of iron-sulfur clusters, including EPR and Mossbauer spectroscopies, are discussed because they are important for characterizing unrecognized and elusive iron sulfur proteins. Recent insights into how nitrogenase works have arisen from multiple advances, described here, including studies of high-resolution crystal structures.

Book Description
Die Strahlenbiologie hat sich von einem Forschungszweig, mit dem sich noch vor wenigen J ahrzehnten nur die Strahlentherapeuten und vereinzelte Biologen beschaftigten, zu einem Arbeitsgebiet entwickelt, das die gesamte Medizin und weiteste Gebiete der Biologie interessieren muB. Auf dem Gebiet der Radiologie wird die Radiobiologie von zwei verschiedenen Richtungen gefOrdert. Einerseits - hier ist der Ursprung dieser vVissenschaft zu suchen - ergeben sich aus der klinischen Beobachtung Fragestellungen, die man auf experimentellem \Veg zu beantworten versucht. Andererseits bearbeitet eine besondere Gruppe von Biologen, die vornehmlich die ionisierende Strahlung als Instru ment benutzt, ihre Probleme. Beide Gebiete haben enge Verbindung, sollten sich gegen seitig fOrdern und konnen auch vereint, sogar durch dieselbe Person, ihre praktische Auswirkung erfahren. Zuerst haben die Radiologen ihre mannigfaltigen Probleme selbst aufzuklaren versucht. Mit zunehmender Verbesserung und Verfeinerung der Methode hat sich im Rahmen der Radiologie die besondere Arbeitsrichtung der Radiobiologie ausgesondert, die heute zum Teil eigene Wege geht. Die Radiobiologie gewinnt fur die Strahlentherapie immer mehr an Bedeutung, so daB man versucht ist, die Hoffnung auszudrucken, daB die Radiobiologie berufen sein wird, die Radiotherapie aus der empiri schen Sphare in eine exakt fundierte zu fum'en. In noch starkerem MaB hat sich auf dem Gebiet der Radiodiagnostik die Situation gewandelt. Ohne grundliche radiobiologische Kenntnisse kann die Anwendung ionisierender Strahlen fUr Untersuchungszwecke heute nicht mehr verantwortet werden. Die Nuclearmedizin vereinigt auf radiobiologischem Gebiet die Forderungen, die fur Radiotherapie und -diagnostik aufgestellt wurden.

Book Description
Advances in Biological and Medical Physics, Volume VI, provides an overview of the state of knowledge in biological and medical physics. The book opens with a study on ion and water transport in stomach and intestine. This is followed by separate chapters on artificial and induced periodicity in living cells; radiobiological aspects of the induction of lysogenic bacteria to produce phage with x-ray, gamma ray, and ultraviolet radiations; cell studies with microspectrography; and the effect of ionizing radiation on tumors in experimental animals. Subsequent chapters deal with biological effects of fallout from nuclear weapons tests; radiological contrast enhancing methods; measurement of regional circulation in the central nervous system by the use of radioactive inert gas; and intense ultrasound in investigations of the central nervous system. Also covered are the use of isotopic tracers in the study of diabetes; application of light scattering to biological systems; and physical and chemical mechanisms in the injury of cells by ionizing radiations.

Languages : en
Pages : 400
Book Description
Comprehensive coverage of radical reactive intermediates in nucleic acid chemistry and biochemistry The Wiley Series on Reactive Intermediates in Chemistry and Biology investigates reactive intermediates from the broadest possible range of disciplines. The contributions in each volume offer readers fresh insights into the latest findings, emerging applications, and ongoing research in the field from a diverse perspective. The chemistry and biochemistry of reactive intermediates is central to organic chemistry and biochemistry, and underlies a significant portion of modern synthetic chemistry. Radical and Radical Ion Reactivity in Nucleic Acid Chemistry provides the only comprehensive review of the chemistry and biochemistry of nucleic acid radical intermediates. With contributions by world leaders in the field, the text covers a broad range of topics, including: A discussion of the relevant theory Ionization of DNA Nucleic acid sugar radicals Halopyrimidines Oxidative, reductive, and low energy electron transfer Electron affinity sensitizers Photochemical generative of reactive oxygen species Reactive nitrogen species Enediyne rearrangements Phenoxyl radicals A unique compilation on the cutting edge of our understanding, Radical and Radical Ion Reactivity in Nucleic Acid Chemistry provides an unparalleled resource to student and professional researchers in such fields as organic chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology, and physical chemistry, as well as the industries associated with these disciplines.
