Description
Provides an understanding of bioinorganic reactions from a mechanistic point of view. Illustrates how spectroscopy can be used to establish mechanisms and how model compounds provide mechanistic insight for enzymes. Demonstrates how to apply numerous physical methods to understanding mechanisms of redox catalysis by metal centers in enzymes. Highlights the interrelationships between the roles of metal ions in electron transfer, redox catalysis, structural roles, and hydrolytic chemistry. Provides mechanistic insights into water oxidation, nitrogen fixation, nucleic acid oxidation and hydrolysis, oxygen binding, catalase reactions, and electron transfer.Reviews
"The volume prepared by H. Holden Throp [sic] and Vincent L. Pecoraro gathers the papers presented at the 205th International Meeting of ACS (Division of Inorganic Chemistry). Viewed globally, it represents a valuable synthesis of the present state-of art-and [sic] knowledge on the interferences of inorganic chemistry with the living matter. . . . The volume is structured into 18 chapters, each of them an independent study of a high level of scientific performance. It is of interest to specialists in enzymology, coordinative chemistry, spectroscopy and molecular biology. Modelling of some metabolic processes involving metallic ions, as well, study of the formation of macrocyclic complexes during metabolic processes, and some applications of biomimetics constitute the main objective of the volume under review. . . . [R]ecommended . . . to all people aiming at developing highly performant scientific investigations."--Cellulose Chemistry and Technology
