Highlights the progress made in finding new and exciting metalloproteins10 years after the original publication of the Handbook of Metalloproteins Volumes 1 & 2, and following publication of Volume 3 in 2004, comes the latest two volumes...Presents detailed descriptions of the most exciting newly discovered metalloproteins, including: New metalloproteins involved in photosynthesis, e.g. photosystem I and II, cytochromesNew Copper Metalloproteins involved in the formation of Alzheimer’s disease and are leads to new medicationNew metalloproteins essential in understanding the function of nerves and musclesResearching the structure and function of metalloproteins is one of the biggest challenges in modern biological chemistry – and several Nobel Prizes have been awarded to research in the field, including to the Co-Editor Robert Huber in 1988.Volumes 4 & 5 help bring together the very latest new and exciting metalloproteins in two volumes to help keep you up-to-date in this continually expanding field, including: New metalloproteins involved in photosynthesisPhotosynthesis is vital for life on earth. Contributions on photosystem I and II as well as on cytochrome b6f, which are main components of the oxygenic photosynthetic machinery in plants, algae and cyanobacteria, unravel the role of metals and metal cofactors in this fascinating fundamental process New Copper MetalloproteinsThe role of copper in connection with the amyloid precursor protein for Alzheimer’s disease New metalloproteins essential in understanding the function of nerves and musclesContributions on Mg2+, Na+ and K+ channels/transporters have been included to highlight their formidable significance in biological systems. Na+, K+-ATPase is e.g. very abundant in heart muscle tissues and represents the target for drugs against heart insufficiency like digitalis drugs Metalloproteins used in metal ion transport and storageMetal ion transport, storage and incorporation have been deeper considered in a row of new articles. The metal ions include iron, zinc, nickel and copper. Factor VIIIFactor VIII is an essential blood clotting factor. Some defects might cause a lack of this factor and result in hemophelia A.The new two volumes contain articles published online in the Handbook of Metalloproteins (HMET) from 2007 – 2010, these cover a wide range of newly discovered and exciting metalloproteins since publication of HMET in 2006.These new additional volumes will provide essential reading to all experienced researchers in bioinorganic chemistry and should give the newcomer a good entry into the field in the following areas: Metalloproteins, Proteins, Proteomics, Coordination Chemistry, Bioinorganic Chemistry, Biochemistry, Drug Development, Enzymology.

The biological activation of dioxygen is a key reaction in biological systems. Enzymes involved in direct oxygen activation are oxidases and oxygenases. Multi-copper oxidases are an important class of oxidases reducing dioxygen in a four-electron reduction to water with concomitant one-electron oxidation of the reducing substrate. The progress in the characterization and understanding of the structure and function of these enzymes has advanced so tremendously over the last ten years that the publication of a book documenting these achievements has been overdue.Especially the recent discovery of a key role of the FET3 protein of Saccharomyces cerevisae, a multi-copper oxidase, in iron metabolism of this eukaryote has underpinned the function of the plasma multi-copper oxidase ceruloplasmin in vetebrate iron transport. The lately determined x-ray structure of human ceruloplasmin confirms its close structural relatedness to the plant multi-copper oxidases ascorbate oxidase and laccase and due to strong amino-acid sequence similarities has allowed to construct a useful model of the more distantly related blood-clotting factor VIII.This book contains review articles from experts in the field, dealing with modern spectroscopy, enzyme kinetics, bioinorganic chemistry, x-ray crystallography, electron transfer reactions, molecular biology, medical aspects and potential industrial applications of the three main members of multi-copper oxidases, i.e., laccase, ascorbate oxidase and ceruloplasmin.
