The present book discusses the inherent need and significance of metal ions in metabolic reactions. It details their essential elements and mechanistic prospects to regulate biological reactions. It discusses the broad domain of elements, including main group as well as transition elements, in a comparative and comprehensive manner. Contemporary and advanced topics like nuclear medicine, bio-mineralization, and so forth are covered as well.
Features:
- Highlights the different behavior between Fe/Cu proteins and the structural changes during their biological functioning.
- Discusses the mechanistic prospects of various enzymes and proteins e.g., Cu-Zn SOD, Zinc finger, Ionophores, and so forth.
- Discusses the chemical as well as biological prospect of trace and ultra-trace elements.
- Includes biomimetic models of iron and copper.
- Reviews the criteria of nature selecting metal ion, why only certain elements are essential, and the differences between biologically induced and biologically controlled biomineralization.
This book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in chemical engineering, materials science, chemistry, and biological sciences.
