Bioinorganic Chemistry: A Short Course

Appropriate for one-semester bioinorganic chemistry courses, this text is ideal for upper-level undergraduate and beginning graduate students. It is also a valuable reference for practitioners and researchers needing a general introduction, as well as chemists requiring an accessible reference.

• Reduces size of the text from previous edition to match the first, keeping it appropriate for a one-semester course
• Emphasizes select and diverse topics using extensive references from current scientific literature with more emphasis on molecular biology in the biochemistry section, leading to a discussion of CRISPR technology
• Adds a new chapter on hydrogenases, carbonic anhydrases, and nitrogen cycle enzymes
  along with nanobioinorganic chemistry
  expands coverage of computer hardware and software, metalloenzymes, and metals in medicines
• Has a companion website for instructors with Powerpoint and JPEG figures and tables arranged by chapter plus other material for professors to use in teaching
