This series, Metal Ions in Life Sciences, links coordination chemistry and biochemistry in their widest sense and thus increases our understanding of the relationship between the chemistry of metals and life processes; in fact, it is an old wisdom that metals are indispensable for life. The series reflects the interdisciplinary nature of Biological Inorganic Chemistry and coordinates the efforts of scientists in fields like biochemistry, inorganic and coordination chemistry, materials sciences, molecular and structural biology, biophysics, enzymology, environmental chemistry, physiology, toxicology, pharmacy, medicine, and others. Consequently, the volumes are an essential source for researchers active in these and related fields as well as for teachers preparing courses in Bioinorganic Chemistry.
