RSC Metal Ions in Life Sciences

Metal Ions in Life Sciences links coordination chemistry and biochemistry in their widest sense and thus increases our understanding of the relationship between the chemistry of metals and life processes. The series reflects the interdisciplinary nature of Biological Inorganic Chemistry and coordinates the efforts of scientists in fields like biochemistry, inorganic chemistry, coordination chemistry, molecular and structural biology, enzymology, environmental chemistry, physiology, toxicology, biophysics, pharmacy, and medicine. Consequently, the volumes are an essential source for researchers active in these fields as well as teachers preparing courses, e.g. in Bioinorganic Chemistry.
Now Published
Metal Ions in Toxicology: Effects, Interactions, Interdependencies
Copyright: 2010Astrid Sigel
Volume 8, solely devoted to the toxicology of metals and metalloids as well as their compounds, focuses on human health.
Organometallics in Environment and Toxicology
Copyright: 2010Astrid Sigel
This volume deals mainly with metal(loid)-alkyl derivatives but also with the rarer aryl compounds. Most of these compounds are formed in the environment by microorganisms, but some anthropogenic input occurs as well.
Metal-Carbon Bonds in Enzymes and Cofactors
Copyright: 2009Astrid Sigel
This book covers the occurrence of a wide variety of metal-carbon bonds in living organisms, ranging from bacteria to humans.
Metallothioneins and Related Chelators
Copyright: 2009Astrid Sigel
An essential resource for scientists working in a wide range of disciplines from environmental toxicology and inorganic biochemistry all the way through to physiology and medicine.
