This book pinpoints one of the fastest growing, complex subjects in chemistry and medical science: the dangers of oxidative stress to human beings. It provides a solid background on the chemistry behind the generation of reactive species as well as how reactive species are involved in essential physiological processes and in almost every human disease. It also covers the most recent developments in the study of oxidative and reductive stress (redox stress), including the role of radical and reactive species, novel antioxidant therapies, and methods for assessing free radicals and redox...

Macrocyclic oxoporphyrinogen molecules combine the ability to form strong supramolecular complexes with organic compounds and the ability to absorb light. These properties allow high-sensitivity colorimetric detection of acids in solution in the presence of oxoporphyrinogen. Moreover, protonated oxoporphyrinogens show various molecular dynamic processes on the millisecond timescale. This book offers deep analyses of colorimetric, binding and kinetic properties of oxoporphyrinogen-acid complexes. A detailed introduction is given for: theory of supramolecular binding and chemical kinetics;...
