Biological Inorganic Chemistry: A New Introduction to Molecular
Structure and Function, Third Edition, provides a comprehensive
discussion of the biochemical aspects of metals in living systems.
The fascinating world of the role of metals in biology, medicine
and the environment has progressed significantly since the very
successful Second Edition of the book published in 2012. Beginning
with an overview of metals and selected nonmetals in biology, the
book supports the interdisciplinary nature of this vibrant area of
research by providing an introduction to basic coordination
chemistry for biologists and structural and molecular biology for
chemists. Having built this accessible foundation, the book
progresses to discuss biological ligands for metal ions,
intermediary metabolism and bioenergetics, and methods to study
metals in biological systems. The book also covers metal
assimilation pathways; transport, storage, and homeostasis of metal
ions; sodium and potassium channels and pumps; magnesium phosphate
metabolism and photoreceptors; calcium and cellular signaling; the
catalytic role of several classes of mononuclear zinc enzymes; the
biological chemistry of iron; and copper chemistry and
biochemistry. In addition, the book discusses nickel and cobalt
enzymes; manganese chemistry and biochemistry; molybdenum,
tungsten, vanadium, and chromium; non-metals in biology;
biomineralization; metals in the brain; metals and
neurodegeneration; metals in medicine and metals as drugs; and
metals in the environment. Now in its Third Edition, this popular
and award-winning resource highlights recent exciting advances and
provides a thorough introduction for both researchers approaching
the field from a variety of backgrounds, as well as advanced
students.
