Protein Oxidation and Aging (eBook)

TILMAN GRUNE, MD, is Full Professor and Director of the Institute of Nutrition at Friedrich Schiller University Jena. His research examines the biological phenomenon of oxidative stress. In particular, his research group has been investigating the oxidative stress response of cells and organisms and the protective influence of antioxidants. BETUL CATALGOL, MD, is Assistant Professor in the Faculty of Medicine and the Department of Biochemistry at Marmara University. She is coauthor of Proteasome and Neurodegenerative Diseases, Proteasome and Cancer, and Protein Carbonyl Measurement by Enzyme-Linked Immunosorbent Assay. TOBIAS JUNG, PhD, is a Research Assistant at Friedrich Schiller University Jena. He is coauthor of Structure of the Proteasome.

"With its discussion of current concepts linked to protein
oxidation and its impact on aging and the pathology of certain
age-related diseases, this book is an important contribution to the
field. Students, researchers, scientists, and even clinicians will
benefit from it." (Doody's, 10 January
2013)

"The format and compartmentalised writing style make this
an excellent compendium of knowledge for any researcher interested
in assessing our state of knowledge of protein oxidation and
ageing. It is easy to find out about the current state of knowledge
about a specific reaction, product, method, and/or disease and
follow this up by accessing the extensive list of
references." (Chemistry & Industry, 1 July
