An Introduction and Guide
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,
biochemistry, biology, medicine and environmental science.
