Biological Inorganic Chemistry
Author: Robert R. CrichtonPublisher: Elsevier
ISBN: 0080556221
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 383
Book Description
The importance of metals in biology, the environment and medicine has become increasingly evident over the last twenty five years. The study of the multiple roles of metal ions in biological systems, the rapidly expanding interface between inorganic chemistry and biology constitutes the subject called Biological Inorganic Chemistry. The present text, written by a biochemist, with a long career experience in the field (particularly iron and copper) presents an introduction to this exciting and dynamic field. The book begins with introductory chapters, which together constitute an overview of the concepts, both chemical and biological, which are required to equip the reader for the detailed analysis which follows. Pathways of metal assimilation, storage and transport, as well as metal homeostasis are dealt with next. Thereafter, individual chapters discuss the roles of sodium and potassium, magnesium, calcium, zinc, iron, copper, nickel and cobalt, manganese, and finally molybdenum, vanadium, tungsten and chromium. The final three chapters provide a tantalising view of the roles of metals in brain function, biomineralization and a brief illustration of their importance in both medicine and the environment.Relaxed and agreeable writing style. The reader will not only fiind the book easy to read, the fascinating anecdotes and footnotes will give him pegs to hang important ideas on.Written by a biochemist. Will enable the reader to more readily grasp the biological and clinical relevance of the subject.Many colour illustrations. Enables easier visualization of molecular mechanismsWritten by a single author. Ensures homgeneity of style and effective cross referencing between chapters
An Introduction to the Physical Chemistry of Biological Organization
Author: Arthur Robert PeacockePublisher: Oxford University Press, USA
ISBN:
Category : Language Arts & Disciplines
Languages : en
Pages : 338
Book Description
This book introduces both physical and biological scientists to important thermodynamic and kinetic interpretations of living systems that involve major conceptual developments in the application of physio-chemical ideas. A concluding discussion relates these developments to other widely discussed ideas that have been recently applied to living systems, including thermodynamic aspects of evolution, information theory, and hierarchy and the question of reductionism. Students and researchers in both physical and biological science will find this mathematically simplified account to be a clear and accessible introduction to the physical chemistry of biological organization.

Physical Chemistry for the Biological Sciences
Author: Gordon G. HammesPublisher: John Wiley & Sons
ISBN: 1118858913
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 504

Physical Chemistry for the Biosciences
Author: Raymond ChangPublisher: University Science Books
ISBN: 9781891389337
Category : Science
Languages : en
Pages : 706
Book Description
This book is ideal for use in a one-semester introductory course in physical chemistry for students of life sciences. The author's aim is to emphasize the understanding of physical concepts rather than focus on precise mathematical development or on actual experimental details. Subsequently, only basic skills of differential and integral calculus are required for understanding the equations. The end-of-chapter problems have both physiochemical and biological applications.
Introduction to Bioorganic Chemistry and Chemical Biology
Author: David Van VrankenPublisher: Garland Science
ISBN: 1135054827
Category : Medical
Languages : en
Pages : 571
Book Description
Introduction to Bioorganic Chemistry and Chemical Biology is the first textbook to blend modern tools of organic chemistry with concepts of biology, physiology, and medicine. With a focus on human cell biology and a problems-driven approach, the text explains the combinatorial architecture of biooligomers (genes, DNA, RNA, proteins, glycans, lipids, and terpenes) as the molecular engine for life. Accentuated by rich illustrations and mechanistic arrow pushing, organic chemistry is used to illuminate the central dogma of molecular biology. Introduction to Bioorganic Chemistry and Chemical Biology is appropriate for advanced undergraduate and graduate students in chemistry and molecular biology, as well as those going into medicine and pharmaceutical science. Please note that Garland Science flashcards are no longer available for this text. However, the solutions can be obtained through our Support Material Hub link below, but should only be requested by instructors who have adopted the book on their course.
