Description
@from:From the Preface
Although it has been suspected since ancient times that metals participate in biological processes, details of
the manner in which they might exert a function have until recently remained unknown. It is now appreciated that metals play roles in
catalysis, hormone action, gene and other regulatory functions, structural stabilization of macromolecules, muscle contraction, nerve
conduction, and transport. "Metallobiochemistry" is a field which has grown and matured rapidly over the past decade. Metalloenzymes
have been the central investigating targets. This volume provides both the emerging and practicing metallobiochemist with the necessary
tools to answer what should be the number one and two questions: Is this enzyme a metalloenzyme? What metal is it?
