Description:
The field of Bioinorganic Chemistry has grown significantly in
recent years; now one of the major sub-disciplines of Inorganic
Chemistry, it has also pervaded other areas of the life sciences
due to its highly interdisciplinary nature.
Bioinorganic Chemistry: Inorganic Elements in the Chemistry
of Life, Second Edition provides a detailed introduction to the
role of inorganic elements in biology, taking a systematic
element-by-element approach to the topic. The second edition of
this classic text has been fully revised and updated to include new
structure information, emerging developments in the field, and an
increased focus on medical applications of inorganic compounds. New
topics have been added including materials aspects of bioinorganic
chemistry, elemental cycles, bioorganometallic chemistry, medical
imaging and therapeutic advances.
Topics covered include:
Metals at the center of photosynthesis
Uptake, transport, and storage of essential elements
Catalysis through hemoproteins
Biological functions of molybdenum, tungsten, vanadium and
chromium
Function and transport of alkaline and alkaline earth metal
cations
Biomineralization
Biological functions of the non-metallic inorganic
elements
Bioinorganic chemistry of toxic metals
Biochemical behavior of radionuclides and medical imaging using
inorganic compounds
Chemotherapy involving non-essential elements
This full color text provides a concise and comprehensive review of
bioinorganic chemistry for advanced students of chemistry,
