INTRODUCES STUDENTS TO THE BASICS OF BIOINORGANIC CHEMISTRY
This book provides the fundamentals for inorganic chemistry and
biochemistry relevant to understanding bioinorganic topics. It
provides essential background material, followed by detailed
information on selected topics, to give readers the background, tools,
and skills they need to research and study bioinorganic topics of
interest to them. To reflect current practices and needs, instrumental
methods and techniques are referred to and mixed in throughout the
book.
_Bioinorganic Chemistry: A Short Course, Third Edition_ begins with a
chapter on Inorganic Chemistry and Biochemistry Essentials. It then
continues with chapters on: Computer Hardware, Software, and
Computational Chemistry Methods; Important Metal Centers in Proteins;
Myoglobins, Hemoglobins, Superoxide Dismutases, Nitrogenases,
Hydrogenases, Carbonic Anhydrases, and Nitrogen Cycle Enzymes. The
book concludes with chapters on Nanobioinorganic Chemistry and Metals
in Medicine. Readers are also offered end-of-section summaries,
conclusions, and thought problems.
* Reduces size of the text from previous edition to match the first,
keeping it appropriate for a one-semester course
* Offers primers and background materials to help students feel
comfortable with research-level bioinorganic chemistry
* Emphasizes select and diverse topics using extensive references
from current scientific literature, with more emphasis on molecular
biology in the biochemistry section, leading to a discussion of CRISPR
technology
* Adds new chapters on hydrogenases, carbonic anhydrases, and
nitrogen cycle enzymes, along with a separate chapter on
nanobioinorganic chemistry
* Features expanded coverage of computer hardware and software,
metalloenzymes, and metals in medicines
* Supplemented with a companion website for students and instructors
featuring Powerpoint and JPEG figures and tables, arranged by chapter
Appropriate for one-semester bioinorganic chemistry courses,
_Bioinorganic Chemistry: A Short Course, Third Edition_ is ideal for
upper-level undergraduate and beginning graduate students. It is also
a valuable reference for practitioners and researchers in need of a
general introduction to the subject, as well as chemists requiring an
accessible reference.
