Addresses the full gamut of questions in metalloprotein
science

Formatted as a question-and-answer guide, this book examines all
major families of metal binding proteins, presenting our most
current understanding of their structural, physicochemical, and
functional properties. Moreover, it introduces new and emerging
medical applications of metalloproteins. Readers will discover both
the underlying chemistry and biology of this important area of
research in bioinorganic chemistry.

Chemistry of Metalloproteins features a building block
approach that enables readers to master the basics and then advance
to more sophisticated topics. The book begins with a general
introduction to bioinorganic chemistry and metalloproteins. Next,
it covers:

* Alkali and alkaline earth cations

* Metalloenzymes

* Copper proteins

* Iron proteins

* Vitamin B12

* Chlorophyll

Chapters are richly illustrated to help readers fully grasp all
the chemical concepts that govern the biological action of
metalloproteins. In addition, each chapter ends with a list of
suggested original research articles and reviews for further
investigation of individual topics.

Presenting our most current understanding of metalloproteins,
Chemistry of Metalloproteins is recommended for students and
researchers in coordination chemistry, biology, and medicine.

Each volume of the Wiley Series in Protein and Peptide Science
addresses a specific facet of the field, reviewing the latest
findings and presenting a broad range of perspectives. The volumes
in this series constitute essential reading for biochemists,
biophysicists, molecular biologists, geneticists, cell biologists,
and physiologists as well as researchers in drug design and
development, proteomics, and molecular medicine with an interest in
proteins and peptides.
