In this book the first three chapters outline the chemistry of
nickel and heme largely associated with anaerobic life and believed
to represent reactions which took place some 3-4x109years ago.
Nickel has disappeared from the chemistry of man. The fascinating
detail of the "primitive" catalysts is of interest to industrial
society since very simple feed-stock is used, hydrogen, carbon
monoxide and sulphate for example. The fourth chapter switches
attention to a metal which became valuable later in evolution,
copper, and which is involved with the use of dioxygen. It also has
extremely interesting catalytic sites in enzymes. The essence of
the volume lies in an appreciation of metallo- enzymes and their
changing roles as the environment changed.
