Sets the stage for the design and application of new protein
cages
Featuring contributions from a team of international experts in
the coordination chemistry of biological systems, this book enables
readers to understand and take advantage of the fascinating
internal molecular environment of protein cages. With the aid of
modern organic and polymer techniques, the authors explain step by
step how to design and construct a variety of protein cages.
Moreover, the authors describe current applications of protein
cages, setting the foundation for the development of new
applications in biology, nanotechnology, synthetic chemistry, and
other disciplines.
Based on a thorough review of the literature as well as the
authors' own laboratory experience, "Coordination Chemistry in
Protein Cages"Sets forth the principles of coordination reactions
in natural protein cagesDetails the fundamental design of
coordination sites of small artificial metalloproteins as the basis
for protein cage designDescribes the supramolecular design and
assembly of protein cages for or by metal coordinationExamines the
latest applications of protein cages in biology and
nanotechnologyDescribes the principles of coordination chemistry
that govern self-assembly of synthetic cage-like molecules
Chapters are filled with detailed figures to help readers
understand the complex structure, design, and application of
protein cages. Extensive references at the end of each chapter
serve as a gateway to important original research studies and
reviews in the field.
With its detailed review of basic principles, design, and
applications, "Coordination Chemistry in Protein Cages" is
recommended for investigators working in biological inorganic
chemistry, biological organic chemistry, and nanoscience.
