This volume of Methods in Enzymology and its companion Volume 233 present methods developed to investigate the roles of oxygen radicals and antioxidants in disease. It includes techniques and assays of the activity of biothiols in soluble systems, their interaction with lipids and proteins, and the various new thiol enzymes, such as thioltransferases, being elucidated. Antioxidant reactions and gene regulation are also included UR - http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/book/9780121821357 UR - http://www.sciencedirect.com/science/bookseries/00766879/234 ER -
