What is Selectivity and Molecular Mechanisms of Toxicity about?
The title of the Symposium was Selectivity and Molecular Mechanisms of Toxicity and it was intended to highlight the major guiding principles in Norman's distinguished scientific career which made him a recognised pioneer of toxicological research both in the UK and worldwide. Most of the contributors had been closely associated with Norman, either as students or as collaborators, and we were very happy to organise the scientific programme with the help of Martin Johnson, which we gratefully acknowledge. This book is aimed at providing a more permanent tribute to Norman's influential achievements. It is a collection of short reviews which have been written by the contributors to the symposium, all specialists in various fields of human and experimental toxicology, and which illustrate some of the most interesting and topical problems in present-day toxicological research. Examples are given of the molecular basis for tissue-selective toxicity in the lung, peripheral nerves, kidney and immune system; and the mechanisms of toxicity of toxic lectins, organophosphate inhibitors, genotoxic chlorinated hydrocarbons and suicide substrates of cytochrome P-450 are then considered. Finally,
