Abstract

The behavior of short-lived radicals, radical ions, and biradicals in biological and chemical systems has been studied. It turned out that these highly reactive intermediates react selectively. The rules that we have found are applied to biological (enzyme reactions), chemical (total synthesis of natural products; peptide folding), and physical (DNA chips) aspects of life sciences.
