Description
Bioinorganic Chemistry is an introductory volume that demonstrates the relationship between classical inorganic chemistry and the chemistry of metal ions in biology. It provides a clear and concise presentation of a large number of physical and chemical methodologies,yet it assumes a little prior knowledge of the field. Building from a basis in inorganic coordination and reaction chemistry, the author develops the biological chemistry of metal ions by consideration of biochemical topics rather than describing the chemistry of specific metals, cofactors or enzymes. Essential background material in solution chemistry, physical methods and molecular/cell biology is clearly presented from first principles. Each topic is introduced with an outline of its biological context. Numerous figures and illustrations highlight key concepts as well as useful references and appendices. Designed to serve primarily as a textbook for courses in bioinorganic chemistry and as supplement for courses in general inorganic, coordination or solution chemistry, it will prove to be of great value to senior level undergraduates and beginning graduate level students. The book is a valuable reference for biological, inorganic and organic chemists, biochemists, chemical and environmental engineers, specialized researchers in molecular biology and medicine, and biophysicists.
