"Praise for the Series ""The Methods in Enzymology series represents the gold-standard."" --NEUROSCIENCE ""Incomparably useful."" --ANALYTICAL BIOCHEMISTRY ""It is a true 'methods' series, including almost every detail from basic theory to sources of equipment and reagents, with timely documentation provided on each page."" --BIO/TECHNOLOGY ""The series has been following the growing, changing and creation of new areas of science. It should be on the shelves of all libraries in the world as a whole collection."" --CHEMISTRY IN INDUSTRY ""The appearance of another volume in that excellent series, Methods in Enzymology, is always a cause for appreciation for those who wish to successfully carry out a particular technique or prepare an enzyme or metabolic intermediate without the tiresome prospect of searching through unfamiliar literature and perhaps selecting an unproven method which is not easily reproduced."" --AMERICAN SOCIETY OF MICROBIOLOGY NEWS ""If we had some way to find the work most often consulted in the laboratory, it could well be the multi-volume series Methods in Enzymology...a great work."" --ENZYMOLOGIA ""A series that has established itself as a definitive reference for biochemists."" --JOURNAL OF CHROMATOGRAPHY"

Author Information

Helmut Sies, MD, PhD (hon), studied medicine at the universities of Tübingen, Munich, and Paris. He was the professor and chair of the Institute for Biochemistry and Molecular Biology I at Heinrich-Heine-University Düsseldorf, Germany, where he is now professor emeritus. He is a member of the German National Academy of Sciences Leopoldina and was the president of the North Rhine-Westphalian Academy of Sciences and Arts. He was named ‘Redox Pioneer’; was the president of the Society for Free Radical Research International (SFRRI). Helmut Sies introduced the concept of “Oxidative Stress” in 1985, and was the first to reveal hydrogen peroxide as a normal constituent of aerobic cell metabolism. His research interests comprise redox biology, oxidants, antioxidants, micronutrients.
