This book summarizes the chemical mechanisms and detailed kinetics of amino acid and peptide oxidation to help understand how proteins break down or dissociate when under stress in biological and environmental systems so that new drugs and antioxidants may be developed. It provides a summary of fundamental information on the kinetics and mechanism of amino acids by various oxidants. It also discusses oxidative chemistry of amino acids, peptides, and proteins. This useful guide also provides problems and their solutions associated with amino acids, peptides, and proteins in the aquatic environment.
Explains the role of reactive intermediates in biological systems as well as in environmental remediation

With its clear and systematic approach, this book examined the broad range of reactive intermediate that can be generated in biological environments, detailing the fundamental properties of each reactive intermediate. Readers gain a contemporary understanding of how these intermediates react with different compounds, with an emphasis on amino acids, peptides, and proteins. The author not only sets forth the basic chemistry and nature of reactive intermediates, he also demonstrates how the properties of the intermediates presented in the book compare with each other.

Oxidation of Amino Acids, Peptides, and Proteins begins with a discussion of radical and non-radical reactive species as well as an exploration of the significance of reactive species in the atmosphere, disinfection processes, and environmental remediation. Next, the book covers such topics as:
Thermodynamics of amino acids and reactive species and the effect of metal-ligand binding in oxidation chemistry
Kinetics and mechanisms of reactive halogen, oxygen, nitrogen, carbon, sulfur and phosphate species as well as reactive high-valent Cr, Mn, and Fe species
Reactivity of the species with molecules of biological and environmental importance
Generation of reactive species in the laboratory for kinetics studies
Oxidation of amino acids, peptides, and proteins by permanganate, ferryl, and ferrate species
Application of reactive species in purifying water and treating wastewater

With this book as their guide, readers will be able to assess the overall effects of reactive intermediates in biological environments. Moreover, they'll learn how to apply this knowledge for successful water purification and wastewater treatment.
