摘要

This book was developed from a symposium entitled "Bio-inorganic Chemistry" held during the 39th Meeting of the Central Region of the American Chemical Society in May 2007. In general, it covers current research in bioinorganic chemistry in the areas of cellular systems and synthetic models with six chapters falling under the heading of the former and eight under the latter. A sampling of chapters in each category includes "Biosynthesis and Regulation of the Heme A Biosynthetic Pathway" by Hegg and "Studies into the Metal Chemistry of the Carbaporphyrinoids: Insights into the Biological Choice of Porphyrin" by Ziegler.
