Bioinorganic Chemistry: A Short Course provides the fundamentals for inorganic chemistry and biochemistry relevant to understanding bioinorganic topics. Pertinent physical techniques, including computer modeling and database access, and specific metals and appropriate enzymes/biological systems containing those metals, are updated and covered even more thoroughly in this expanded and extensively revised second edition.
