Abstract

This volume is an extended account of a group of techniques that have seen their importance realized in almost all areas of biochemistry. The book provides detailed description of the properties and syntheses of the most useful photoactivatable reagents as well as comprehensive and critical descriptions of the major experiments that can be performed with photochemical reagents, affinity labelling, cross-linking of macromolecules and topographical analyses of membrane proteins.
...the author has provided both an excellent review of the pertinent literature with over 400 references and a very readable guide to the rational design and use of photogenerated reagents.
