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
photosynthesisUptake, transport, and storage of essential
elementsCatalysis through hemoproteinsBiological functions of
molybdenum, tungsten, vanadium and chromiumFunction and transport
of alkaline and alkaline earth metal
cationsBiomineralizationBiological functions of the non-metallic
inorganic elementsBioinorganic chemistry of toxic metalsBiochemical
behavior of radionuclides and medical imaging using inorganic
compoundsChemotherapy 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.
