Features expanded coverage of computer hardware and software, metalloenzymes, and metals in medicines.Adds new chapters on hydrogenases, carbonic anhydrases, and nitrogen cycle enzymes, along with a separate chapter on nanobioinorganic chemistry.Emphasizes select and diverse topics using extensive references from current scientific literature, with more emphasis on molecular biology in the biochemistry section, leading to a discussion of CRISPR technology.Offers primers and background materials to help students feel comfortable with research-level bioinorganic chemistry.Reduces size of the text from previous edition to match the first, keeping it appropriate for a one-semester course.

Readers are also offered end-of-section summaries, conclusions, and thought problems. The book concludes with chapters on Nanobioinorganic Chemistry and Metals in Medicine. It then continues with chapters on: Computer Hardware, Software, and Computational Chemistry Methods Important Metal Centers in Proteins Myoglobins, Hemoglobins, Superoxide Dismutases, Nitrogenases, Hydrogenases, Carbonic Anhydrases, and Nitrogen Cycle Enzymes. To reflect current practices and needs, instrumental methods and techniques are referred to and mixed in throughout the book.īioinorganic Chemistry: A Short Course, Third Edition begins with a chapter on Inorganic Chemistry and Biochemistry Essentials. It provides essential background material, followed by detailed information on selected topics, to give readers the background, tools, and skills they need to research and study bioinorganic topics of interest to them. This book provides the fundamentals for inorganic chemistry and biochemistry relevant to understanding bioinorganic topics. Introduces students to the basics of bioinorganic chemistry
