A propos du livre

Présentation de l'éditeur

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.

Quatrième de couverture

Inorganic Biochemistry An Introduction Second Edition J.A. Cowan Developments in the expanding field of inorganic biochemistry have led to major additions to this important teaching text. Like the earlier edition, the second edition does not aim to be comprehensive, but to illustrate the use of basic principles to tackle important problems in inorganic biochemistry. New features of the second edition include a section on basic kinetic and thermodynamic principles in the first chapter; coverage of iron response proteins, ribozymes, and radiopharmaceuticals; a new case study of bleomycin; a comprehensive set of problems and study questions; complete literature citations; and review questions after most of the summary sections. Inorganic Biochemistry: An Introduction, Second Edition will be of great value to senior–level undergraduates and beginning graduate students in inorganic chemistry and biochemistry. It also will be a valuable reference for biological, inorganic and organic chemists; chemical and environmental engineers; researchers in molecular biology and medical sciences; and biophysicists.
