Metal Ions in Biology (2025) Adish Tyagi

Description

This book discusses the inherent need for and significance of metal ions in metabolic and biological reactions. It details their essential elements and mechanistic prospects in regulating biological reactions, covering main group and transition elements comprehensively. Contemporary topics, such as nuclear medicine and biomineralization, are also included. It explores the different behaviors of Fe/Cu proteins, mechanistic prospects of various enzymes (e.g., Cu-Zn SOD, zinc finger), and the criteria for nature selecting essential metal ions.
