Concepts and models in bioinorganic chemistry.9783527313051 Concepts and models in bioinorganic chemistry. Ed. by Heintz-Bernhard Kraatz and Nils Metzler-Nolte. Wiley-VCH 2006 443 pages $70.00 Paperback QP531 Focusing on the role of model systems in bioinorganic chemistry, Kraatz (inorganic chemistry, U. of Saskatchewan) and Metzler-Nolte (bioinorganic chemistry, U. of Bochum) and their expert contributors feature concepts such as electron transfer, medical inorganic chemistry, bioorganometallics and metal DNA DNA: see nucleic acid. DNA or deoxyribonucleic acid One of two types of nucleic acid (the other is RNA); a complex organic compound found in all living cells and many viruses. It is the chemical substance of genes. complexes as well as inorganic model chemistry on metallo-enzymes, organized by metal ion. Topics of the ten papers include the biodistribution of metal ions, medicinal inorganic chemistry, the chemical toxicology of metals and metalloids, charge transport in biological molecules, bioorganometallic chemistry, interactions with metal ions, the bioorganic bi·o·or·gan·ic adj.
