Kohen (chemistry, University of Iowa) and Limbach (physical chemistry, Freie Universitat Berlin) bring together perspectives on the physical and theoretical origin of isotope effects and the uses of these effects in physical, chemical, biological, environmental, and other applications. Some chapters summarize current understanding of a well-researched subject, while others review recent findings and ongoing research. Specific topics covered include the measurement of kinetic and anharmonic isotope effects, computer simulation of isotope effects in enzyme catalysis, and isotope effects for exotic nuclei.
