This is the premier, single-source reference on redox biochemistry, a rapidly emerging field. This reference presents the basic principles and includes detailed chapters focusing on various aspects of five primary areas of redox biochemistry: antioxidant molecules and redox cofactors; antioxidant enzymes; redox regulation of physiological processes; pathological processes related to redox; and specialized methods. This is a go-to resource for professionals in pharmaceuticals, medicine, immunology, nutrition, and environmental fields and an excellent text for upper-level students.
Reviews
This book is concise and covers wide range of topics. However, the background info is insufficient, and thus, I would not recommend this book for a true beginner. It requires some level of foundational chemical as well as biological knowledge to understand the concepts presented in this book. If you need a superficial reading on various topics on oxidative stress/antioxidant system/redox system, then this book is for you. However, I would rather recommend Free Radicals in Biology and Medicine instead if you need an in-depth understanding of the redox system.

I started refering to the book for a redox biochemistry course. During the course realised that the book deals with almost all redox related events in a cell - the redox enzymes & pathways, small molecules, free radicals and pathological consequences.

A review article can be referred if more information is needed about a specific system. But overall this book is a great resource to learn & integrate redox systems.


Reviews
I found this book very helpful in looking at different antioxidants, enzymes and pathways involved in redox. The information is very concise and for someone just starting out in this field this book is much better than reading as many review articles. Mainly, because the descriptions give just enough information to understand the mechanism and relevance of each compound/pathway. There are not many references given so if you need more specific information about a topic this isn't the right book.
