Chemical Processes with Participation of Biological and Related Compounds: Biophysical and Chemical Aspects of Porphyrins, Pigments, Drugs, Biodegradable Polymers and Nanofibers

by Tatyana N. Lomova, Gennady E. Zaikov

Overview

The book is devoted to kinetics and thermodynamics of the processes with participation of some biological compounds and their synthetic analogues. Aspects of their acting as model enzymes, molecular receptors, photo sensitizers, pharmocophores, and biopharmaceutical compounds are under consideration. Quantitative characteristics of transfer of cati
