D. Allan Butterfield and his co-editors provide thorough dialogue, unbiased approaches, and features on medical functions and advancement of diagnoses in proteomics and cellular physiology a state-of-the-art treatise, “Redox Proteomics: From Protein Modifications to Cellular Dysfunction and Diseases.” As a reference publication, Butterfield and two colleagues edit chapters on proteomics – the science of identifying various types of proteins – and compile facts and insights into normal and altered physiology, molecular mechanisms of disease conditions and modern methods of proteomics.

In addition, the authors examine the growth of proteomics to provide insights into the role of oxidized proteins in many diseases such as asthma, cardiovascular disease, diabetes and Alzheimer's disease. More research in this field will likely lead to progress in the diagnosis, prognosis and treatment of those illnesses.

D. Allan Butterfield is the alumni professor of biological and physical chemistry in the College of Arts and Sciences and director for the Center of Membrane Sciences at the University of Kentucky. He earned his doctorate from Duke University in 1974. Honors and awards include the Presidential Award for Excellence in Science, Mathematics and Engineering Mentoring (presented at the White House), an honorary doctor of science degree from his undergraduate alma mater (the University of Maine), the Southern Chemist Award from the American Chemical Society (Memphis Section), the University of Kentucky Faculty Research Award, the University of Kentucky Research Professorship Award, the University of Kentucky Sturgill Award for Outstanding Contributions to Graduate Education,  as well as membership in Phi Beta Kappa Honorary Society.
