Synopsis
The ubiquity of metal ions in biology has led to widespread interest in metallobiochemistry among biologists, chemists and biochemists. This book serves primarily as a textbook for courses in bio-inorganic chemistry, and as a supplement for courses in general inorganic, co-ordination, or solution chemistry. It does not cover all the details of inorganic biochemistry, being intended as a concise and solid introduction. It is aimed at senior undergraduate and graduate students (US designation), as well as scientists in the following disciplines: biological, inorganic and organic chemistry; chemical and environmental engineering; specialized research in molecular biology and the medical sciences; biophysics. Building from a firm basis in organic co-ordination and reaction chemistry, the biological chemistry of metal ions is developed. Emphasis is placed on chemical principles rather than the techniques employed. Specific examples have been chosen to illustrate important general principles.

From the Back Cover
Inorganic Biochemistry An Introduction Second Edition J.A. Cowan Developments in the expanding field of inorganic biochemistry have led to major additions to this important teaching text. Like the earlier edition, the second edition does not aim to be comprehensive, but to illustrate the use of basic principles to tackle important problems in inorganic biochemistry. New features of the second edition include a section on basic kinetic and thermodynamic principles in the first chapter; coverage of iron response proteins, ribozymes, and radiopharmaceuticals; a new case study of bleomycin; a comprehensive set of problems and study questions; complete literature citations; and review questions after most of the summary sections. Inorganic Biochemistry: An Introduction, Second Edition will be of great value to senior–level undergraduates and beginning graduate students in inorganic chemistry and biochemistry. It also will be a valuable reference for biological, inorganic and organic chemists; chemical and environmental engineers; researchers in molecular biology and medical sciences; and biophysicists.
