Inorganic Chemistry in Biology (Paperback)

Emphasizing the importance of inorganic chemistry in biological systems, this book describes the importance and impact of a number of elements, other than carbon, in biological chemistry. It provides a short basic background covering the interactions of inorganic molecules, especially metal ions, with biomolecules. Biologically important elements and their occurrences and functions in biomaterials are also discussed. These are illustrated by certain roles in such varied species as humans, crocodiles, chicken, fish, beetles, and plants, and in diseases such as cystic fibrosis, methemoglobemia, and thalassemia. Important topics covered include metalloenzymes and their importance in the electron transport chain, photosynthesis, and numerous other processes. Inorganic Chemistry in Biology offers concise yet comprehensive coverage of this interdisciplinary area, providing an excellent introductory survey of the field.
