Summary

Summary

Inorganic biochemistry is an emerging subject and interdisciplinary field between inorganic chemistry and biochemistry. The task of inorganic biochemistry is to research the interaction between the metal complex (or metal ion) with biological ligand at the molecular level. There exists wide research about inorganic biochemistry such as biological macromolecular, oxygen carrier, haemoglobin, mimic enzyme, DNA-binding and cytotoxicity, biological mineralisation, etc. Encompassing the varied and disparate roles of metal ions in biology, the field of bioinorganic chemistry has reached a certain level of maturity. This book provides leading research from around the globe in this field.
