ABSTRACT

Research into the kinetics and thermodynamics of processes involving biologically active substances and multistage mechanisms of their interactions in living systems is of primary interest for modern science. Many problems arising in the course of the studies may be solved by investigating the reactivity of BAS in model systems and synthetic analogs of naturally occurring biomolecules with a complex and often unknown structure. The authors of this book have been for many years engaged in studies of the reactivity of BAS in various aggregate states and in relation to the molecular structures and supramolecular forms.
