Description
Biological Inorganic Chemistry: A New Introduction to Molecular Structure and Function, Second Edition, provides a comprehensive discussion of the biochemical aspects of metals in living systems. Beginning with an overview of metals and selected nonmetals in biology, the book then discusses the following concepts: basic coordination chemistry for biologists; structural and molecular biology for chemists; biological ligands for metal ions; intermediary metabolism and bioenergetics; and methods to study metals in biological systems. The book also covers metal assimilation pathways; transport, storage, and homeostasis of metal ions; sodium and potassium channels and pumps; magnesium phosphate metabolism and photoreceptors; calcium and cellular signaling; the catalytic role of several classes of mononuclear zinc enzymes; the biological chemistry of iron; and copper chemistry and biochemistry. In addition, the book discusses nickel and cobalt enzymes; manganese chemistry and biochemistry; molybdenum, tungsten, vanadium, and chromium; non-metals in biology; biomineralization; metals in the brain; metals and neurodegeneration; metals in medicine and metals as drugs; and metals in the environment. - Winner of a 2013 Textbook Excellence Awards (Texty) from the Text and Academic Authors Association - Readable style, complemented by anecdotes and footnotes - Enables the reader to more readily grasp the biological and clinical relevance of the subject - Color illustrations enable easy visualization of molecular mechanisms

Dr. Robert R. Crichton is an Emeritus Professor, Faculty of Science, Universite Catholique de Louvain in the new town of Louvain-la-Neuve, Belgium, where he taught biochemistry to students of chemistry, biology and veterinary medicine and directed the Biochemistry Unit. He has published over two hundred scientific articles and since 1985 has organized over twenty Advanced Courses on Metals in Biology in Louvain-la-Neuve, training over 1300 doctoral and post-doctoral students, many of whom are today leaders in this field. The Second and Third Editions of Biological Inorganic Chemistry: An Introduction to Molecular Structure and Function received the 2013 and 2019 TEXTY Textbook Excellence Awards in Physical Sciences respectively from the Text and Academic Authors Association.
