Bioinorganic chemistry
This book covers material that could be included in a one-quarter or onesemester
course in bioinorganic chemistry for graduate students and advanced
undergraduate students in chemistry or biochemistry. We believe that such a
course should provide students with the background required to follow the
research literature in the field. The topics were chosen to represent those areas of
bioinorganic chemistry that are mature enough for textbook presentation.
Although each chapter presents material at a more advanced level than that of
bioinorganic textbooks published previously, the chapters are not specialized
review articles. What we have attempted to do in each chapter is to teach the
underlying principles of bioinorganic chemistry as well as outlining the state of
knowledge in selected areas.
We have chosen not to include abbreviated summaries of the inorganic
chemistry, biochemistry, and spectroscopy that students may need as background
in order to master the material presented. We instead assume that the instructor
using this book will assign reading from relevant sources that is appropriate to
the background of the students taking the course.
For the convenience of the instructors, students, and other readers of this
book, we have included an appendix that lists references to reviews of the
research literature that we have found to be particularly useful in our courses on
bioinorganic chemistry.
