Description and Table of Contents

Description

"Bioinorganic Chemistry of Copper" focuses on the vital role of copper ions in biology, especially as an essential metalloenzyme cofactor. The book is interdisciplinary in its approach - the contributors includes co-ordination chemists, biochemists, biophysicists, and molecular biologists. Chapters are grouped into major areas of research interest in inorganic copper chemistry, spectroscopy, oxygen chemistry, biochemistry, and molecular biology. The book also discusses basic research of great potential importance to pharmaceutical scientists. This book is based on the first Johns Hopkins University Copper Symposium, held in August 1992. Researchers in chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology, and medicinal chemistry should find it to be an essential reference on its subject. This book should be of interest to researchers in chemistry, biochemistry, molecular biology and medicinal chemistry.
