Biological Inorganic Chemistry (eBook, ePUB)

Biological Inorganic Chemistry explores the essential role of metal ions in biological systems, bridging the gap between inorganic chemistry and the life sciences. This comprehensive book provides an in-depth look at how transition metals and other inorganic elements participate in critical biological processesfrom enzyme catalysis and electron transfer to oxygen transport and metal-based drug action.ed for students and professionals in chemistry, biology, biochemistry, and related fields, this book covers key topics such as metalloproteins, coordination chemistry in biology, metalloenzymes, iron-sulfur clusters, metal ion transport, and metal toxicity. With clear explanations, illustrative figures, and real-world biological examples, it builds a strong foundation in both the theoretical and practical aspects of bioinorganic chemistry.Features:Covers major biological roles of metal ionsIncludes detailed discussions of metalloproteins and metalloenzymesIntegrates coordination chemistry with biological functionHighlights the medical and environmental relevance of metal ionsed for upper-level undergraduates, graduate students, and researchersWhether you‘re studying bioinorganic chemistry for the first time or seeking a deeper understanding of metal-biological interactions, this book is your essential guide.
