Peroxidases And Catalases: Biochemistry, Biophysics, Biotechnology And Physiology

SINGLE SOURCE GUIDE TO PEROXIDASES AND CATALASES
Reflecting the important historical discoveries and exciting research in the field in recent years, Peroxidases and Catalases: Biochemistry, Biophysics, Biotechnology and Physiology provides a much-needed systematic, up-to-date treatment of peroxidases and catalases.
From the structure and properties of the various superfamilies to current applications of peroxidases, the book consolidates vast amounts of information previously scattered in the professional literature, covering all aspects of these ubiquitous enzymes that act on a variety of substances and processes in living systems—their properties, reactions, crystal structures, cloning, and more.
Considering the subject from both theoretical and applied perspectives, Peroxidases and Catalases offers a critical review of the literature and detailed discussions of the most current research. Chapters cover:
The background and history of peroxidases and catalases
Plant, fungal, and bacterial peroxidase superfamilies and their organization
Mammalian peroxidases including medical and physiological roles
Spectroscopic and theoretical techniques for studying peroxidases highlighting the contributions of physicists and physical/theoretical chemists
Heme peroxidases, catalases, and other peroxidases such as vanadium and selenium peroxidase
Relevant plant and animal physiology
This one-stop reference is a vital reference for biochemists, biologists, biochemical engineers, physiologists, environmental and pharmaceutical researchers, and others interested in the study and use of peroxidases and catalases.

H. Brian Dunford, PhD, is a biophysical chemist currently working on peroxidase enzymes and Professor Emeritus at the University of Alberta. He received his PhD from McGill University. He is the author of Heme Peroxidases, editor of other books, as well as coauthor of more than 250 journal articles.
