Chlorophylls
and Bacteriochlorophylls: Biochemistry, Biophysics,
Functions and Applications. Chlorophylls
are the most obvious natural pigments on Earth where they can be observed even
from satellites in outer space: they also sustain life on Earth through their involvement
in photosynthesis. With 37 authoritative chapters, this book reviews recent
progress and current status of studies on the chemistry, metabolism and
spectroscopy of chlorophylls, bacteriochlorophylls
and their protein complexes. Also discussed is progress on the applications of
the chlorophylls and bacteriochlorophylls as photosensitizers in photodynamic therapy of cancerous tumours, and as molecular probes in biochemistry, medicine,
plant physiology, ecology and geochemistry. With the last book dedicated to
chlorophylls published in 1991, and out of print since 1995, this book fills a
gap by summarizing the chemical, physical, biological and medical aspects of
chlorophyll and bacteriochlorophyll research and
development, with a focus on the tremendous progress achieved over the past 15
years. The book is aimed equally at advanced students and at both novice and
experienced researchers: each section has an up-to-date introductory overview
which is followed by a series of concise well-focused and fully-referenced
chapters written by experts in the (bio) chemistry, (bio)physics
and photobiology of chlorophyll pigments and their applications in photomedicine.
