Radical and Radical Ion Reactivity in Nucleic Acid Chemistry / Wiley Series of Reactive Intermediates Bd.2 (PDF)

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.
