This book discusses the inherent need for and significance of metal ions in metabolic reactions. It details their essential elements and mechanistic prospects in regulating biological reactions, as well as covers the broad domain of elements, including main group as well as transition elements, in a comparative and comprehensive manner. Contemporary and advanced topics, such as nuclear medicine and biomineralization, are also covered.Features:Highlights the different behaviors of Fe/Cu proteins and the structural changes during their biological functioningDiscusses the mechanistic prospects of various enzymes and proteins, e.g., Cu‑Zn SOD, zinc finger, and ionophoresExplores the chemical and biological prospects of trace and ultra‑trace elementsIncludes biomimetic models of iron and copperReviews the criteria for nature selecting metal ions, why only certain elements are essential, and the differences between biologically induced and biologically controlled biomineralizationThis book is aimed at graduate students and researchers in chemical engineering, materials science, chemistry, and biological sciences.
