Bioinorganic chemistry is an interdisciplinary research field which
centers on metals in biology. Over the past few decades, advances
in chemistry, biology as well as in spectroscopic methods have shed
light on the role of copper in human pathologies and allowed the
growing discovery of copper-containing biological systems.
Following this trend, much effort is being constantly chanelled
towards understanding these fundamental biological processes or
enzymes. In addition, chemists are developing molecules to target
copper or copper enzymes as therapeutic tools. On the other hand,
inspired by the function of biological systems, small molecular
weight complexes inspired by the active site of copper enzymes are
being prepared and studied. These bioinspired complexes can
function both as mechanistic tools and as functional catalysts for
oxidative transformations.The seven chapters in this book,
contributed by internationally recognized authors cover recent
developments on these aspects illustrated by interdisciplinary
fields from biology, chemistry, spectroscopy to bioinspired
catalysis. It contains aspects ranging from human health issues
(copper homeostasis in bacteria and the development of molecules as
anticancer or antibacterial agents) to bioinspired catalysis.
