Synopsis

This resource provides the latest research results in bioinorganic catalysis, and suggests new topics for interdisciplinary studies dealing with metal ions, catalysis and biochemical systems - focusing on the molecular level, and spotlighting the direct environment of the metal ion at the active site. The book: details the current status of the bioinorganic catalysis from the perspective of biochemstry/enzymology, inorganic chemistry, geophysics, organic chemistry and homgeneous and heterogeneous catalysis; examines the structures of the catalytic sites at atomic resolution, the specificity and kinetics of the reactions, and the possible practical uses; covers strategies to design, synthesize and apply analogs of the enzymes, emphasizing redox metals; illustrates how the uses for enzymes and the chemical systems based on them in catalytic processes are continually increasing; and discusses metalloenzymes and synthetic analogs for their active sites simultaneously.
