Handbook of Metalloproteins (5 Vol set)

10 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, cytochromes
•New Copper Metalloproteins involved in the formation of Alzheimer’s disease and are leads to new medication
•New metalloproteins essential in understanding the function of nerves and muscles
Researching 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 photosynthesis
Photosynthesis 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
