Bioinorganic Chemistry — Inorganic Elements in the Chemistry of Life [EPUB ebook] 
An Introduction and Guide

Supporto

The field of Bioinorganic Chemistry has grown significantly in
recent years; now one of the major sub-disciplines of Inorganic
Chemistry, it has also pervaded other areas of the life sciences
due to its highly interdisciplinary nature.
Bioinorganic Chemistry: Inorganic Elements in the Chemistry
of Life, Second Edition provides a detailed introduction to the
role of inorganic elements in biology, taking a systematic
element-by-element approach to the topic. The second edition of
this classic text has been fully revised and updated to include new
structure information, emerging developments in the field, and an
increased focus on medical applications of inorganic compounds. New
topics have been added including materials aspects of bioinorganic
chemistry, elemental cycles, bioorganometallic chemistry, medical
imaging and therapeutic advances.
Topics covered include:
* Metals at the center of photosynthesis
* Uptake, transport, and storage of essential elements
* Catalysis through hemoproteins
* Biological functions of molybdenum, tungsten, vanadium and
chromium
* Function and transport of alkaline and alkaline earth metal
cations
* Biomineralization
* Biological functions of the non-metallic inorganic
elements
* Bioinorganic chemistry of toxic metals
* Biochemical behavior of radionuclides and medical imaging using
inorganic compounds
* Chemotherapy involving non-essential elements
This full color text provides a concise and comprehensive review of
bioinorganic chemistry for advanced students of chemistry,
biochemistry, biology, medicine and environmental science.

Circa l’autore

Professor Dr Wolfgang Kaim, Institute of Inorganic Chemistry, University of Stuttgart, Germany
Wolfgang Kaim was born in 1951 near Frankfurt am Main, Germany, and studied chemistry at the universities of Frankfurt and Konstanz. After obtaining his Ph D with H. Bock in 1978 he spent a postdoctoral year with F.A. Cotton at the University of Texas A&M University. In 1987 he moved from the University of Frankfurt to a Full Professorship at the University of Stuttgart. His main research interests focus on the charge and electron transfer reactivity of molecular compounds and various aspects of coordination chemistry.
Dr Brigitte Schwederski, Institute of Inorganic Chemistry, University of Stuttgart, Germany
Brigitte Schwederski was born in 1959 in Recklinghausen, Germany. From 1977 to 1983 she studied chemistry and biology at the University of Bochum and in 1988 completed her Ph D in the research group of Dale W. Margerum at Purdue University, Indiana. Since 1988 she has been a Research Assistant at the University of Stuttgart. Her main research interests include inorganic model complexes of bioinorganic systems, their characteristics and reactivity.
Professor Dr. Axel Klein, Universitaet zu Koeln, Institut fuer Anorganische Chemie, Germany
Axel Klein is a Professor of Inorganic Chemistry at the University of Cologne, Germany. His research interests lie in the preparation and investigation of novel coordination compounds including organometallic derivatives, aiming at the rational design, preparation and use of coordination units with specific properties in mononuclear or oligonuclear complexes or as part of materials.
