Bioinorganic catalysis is that branch of catalysis that deals with processes performed with the aid of metalloenzymes, modified enzymes, and with synthetic metal-containing molecules that resemble the active site of metalloproteins. This monograph provides the most recent research results in bioinorganic catalysis and suggests interesting new topics for interdisciplinary research dealing with metal ions, catalysis, and biochemical systems--focusing on the molecular level and spotlighting the direct environment of the metal ion on the active site. A brief introduction in homogeneous and heterogeneous catalysis is given for readers who are new to the field or who originate from the biological sciences. Includes some 1,600 references. For biochemists; chemical engineers; inorganic, organic, and bioinorganic chemists; enzymologists; toxicologists; and graduate students in chemistry. Annotation c.
