Metal Ions in Biological Systems: Volume 21: Applications of Magnetic Resonance to Paramagnetic Species / Edition 1

by Helmut Sigel

Overview

This book facilitates a wider use of nuclear magnetic resonance in studies of paramagnetic species. It summarizes studies of magnetically coupled metalloproteins, of paramagnetic heme proteins, and of metal-porphyrin-induced dipolar shifts for conformational analysis.

Editorial Reviews

Thirty chapters provide a handbook-like treatment of magnesium and its function in the environment, its bioinorganic chemistry, its role for plants and in animal and human nutrition, its biochemistry and physiology, and its relation to human health and disease. The last 20 years have seen a proliferation of knowledge about this ubiquitous element, and the interdisciplinary presentation made here should promote more progress as the field of "bioinorganic chemistry" gains momentum.
