CHOICE Review

An excellent treatise on this important subject, this book will be a valuable resource for first-year graduate or senior undergraduate students. The idea for this book originated from a 1986 Gordon Conference, whose participants decided that a book was needed to provide students with the background required to follow the research literature in the field. Each of the four editors contributed a chapter in their area of expertise. This is not a typical textbook; there are no questions at the end of chapters, and each chapter is written by different experts. Background material must be learned in prerequisite courses since there are no introductory chapters. There is little attempt to make one chapter flow into another; however, the style of writing is very similar in each chapter and at the right level for upper-division undergraduate students. Nine chapters treat seven main areas of bioinorganic chemistry: transition metal storage and transport, enzyme and catalyst reactions pathways, syntheses and reactions of dioxygen carriers, electron transfer, transition metal sulfide proteins, metal-nucleic acid interactions, and metals in medicine.
