A Guide-book to Biochemistry

An offer of guidance through biochemistry in the space of 150 pages cannot fail to evoke an eager response. We must agree with the author as to the need, as an introduction, for something less formidable than most of the current textbooks. This little book offers us, in the author's words, the bare bones, and is intended for students in a first biochemistry course and for those wondering whethe...

Transferrin: From Inorganic Biochemistry to Medicine

Transferrin is one of the key proteins of iron metabolism in mammalians. It is responsible for the transfer of the essential iron(III) ions through the biological fluids from absorption to storage and utilization sites. Moreover, transferrin is involved in the metabolism of other metal ions that are either trace or toxic elements. In recent years the crystal structure of transferrin has been so...

Inorganic Biochemistry of Medicinal Plants

Most medicinal plants are flowering plants and they also serve as ornamental plants. Measurement of trace element content in medicinal plants, drugs and extracts may be relevant in view of e.g. human health, animal health and environmental relations. This fact has a great significance since about half of the plant drugs available in the trade originate from natural habitats and the element cont...
