<P>The second edition of <STRONG>Metal Ions in Biochemistry</STRONG> deals with the multidisciplinary subject of bio-inorganic chemistry, encompassing the disciplines of inorganic chemistry, biochemistry and medicine.</P><P>The book deals with the role of metal ions in biochemistry, emphasising that biochemistry is mainly the chemistry of metal-biochemical complexes. Hence, the book starts with the structures of biochemicals and the identification of their metal binding sites. Thermodynamic and kinetic properties of the complexes are explained from the point of view of the nature of metal-ligand bonds. Various catalytic and structural roles of metal ions in biochemicals are discussed in detail.</P><P>Features</P><UL><P><LI>The role of Na<SUP>+</SUP> and K<SUP>+</SUP> in brain chemistry.</LI><P></P><P><LI>The role of zinc insulin in glucose metabolism and its enhancement by vanadium and chromium compounds.</LI><P></P><P><LI>Discussion of the role of zinc signals, zinc fingers and c
