Description

"The present book discusses about the inherent need of the metal ions in metabolic reactions. It covers all the essential elements and their mechanistic prospect to regulate the biological reactions, in detail. It discusses 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 different behavior between Fe/Cu proteins and their 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 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"-- Provided by publisher.
