Hydrogen-Transfer Reactions, 4 Volume Set

This multivolume work is the only comprehensive, up-to-date reference work on the theory, occurrence and application of hydrogen transfer processes. Adopting an integrated approach, this handy reference includes essential information on the theoretical basis, the fundamental types, and the latest techniques used to reveal, monitor, as well as measure hydrogen transfer reactions. Renowned experts from a number of disciplines provide a thorough overview on all aspects of hydrogen transfer in natural and artificial systems, thus aiding readers in their own research. Numerous tables and illustrations facilitate fast and easy access to the desired information, making this an indispensable source of knowledge for every research group working in the field.

Professor Schowen has closed his research groups, but continues to work in collaborations. Active programs include these projects:
- Studies of the mechanism, involvement of protein dynamics, and antiparasitic drug design for S-adenosylhomocysteine hydrolases
- Studies of the stability and degradation kinetics and mechanisms of peptide and protein pharmaceuticals in solution and in solid-phase, polymeric solids
- Design and characterization of green catalysts
