This work examines all the major new active areas of research in chemistry, including the structural chemistry of B12 and structural biology of B12-dependent enzymes, free radical-mediated reaction mechanisms, biosynthesis, and cloning. It discusses biochemical and biological aspects, including the role of B12 in nutrition and disease, B12 transport, biosynthesis and gene regulation, and enzymology.

This is the premier, single-source reference on redox biochemistry, a rapidly emerging field. This reference presents the basic principles and includes detailed chapters focusing on various aspects of five primary areas of redox biochemistry: antioxidant molecules and redox cofactors; antioxidant enzymes; redox regulation of physiological processes; pathological processes related to redox; and specialized methods. This is a go-to resource for professionals in pharmaceuticals, medicine, immunology, nutrition, and environmental fields and an excellent text for upper-level students.
