The biological inorganic chemistry of zinc ions

Fundamentals of Inorganic, Organic and Biological Chemistry

Biological inorganic chemistry at the beginning of the 21st century.

Advances in bioinorganic chemistry since the 1970s have been driven by three factors: rapid determination of high-resolution structures of proteins and other biomolecules, utilization of powerful spectroscopic tools for studies of both structures and dynamics, and the widespread use of macromolecular engineering to create new biologically relevant structures. Today, very large molecules can be ...

The binding of carbon monoxide, a competitive inhibitor of many hydrogenases, to the active site of Desulfovibrio fructosovorans hydrogenase has been studied Journal of Biological Inorganic Chemistry, 7 ( 3), 2002 2 by infrared spectroscopy in a spectroelectrochemical cell. Direct evidence has been obtained of what redox states of the enzyme can bind extrinsic CO. Redox states A, B and SU do no...
