Chemistry of metalloproteins : problems and solutions in bioinorganic chemistry This question and answer guide on metalloproteins reflects the broad range of aspects within this branch of protein science. It is divided into seven parts addressing: the cell the alkali and alkaline earth cations non redox metalloenzymes carboxypeptases carbonic anhydrase alcohol dehydrogenase copper proteins electronic and ESR spectra of copper ions plastocyanin stellacyanin superoxide dismutase electronic spectra of iron ions Mossbauer spectroscopy of iron ions ESR spectra of Iion (III) iron bioavailability siderophores non heme iron proteins ferritin transferrin dioxygenase iron proteins rubredoxin 2Fe 2S Ferredoxins 4FE 4S Ferredoxins and hiPIP aconitase hydroxylases hydrogenases nitrogenases binuclear Fe proteins hemerythrin ribotide reductase purple acid phosphate and methane mono oxygenase heme proteins myoglobin and hemoglobin electronic spectra of hemoproteins cytochrome C peroxidase cytochrome P450 ESR spectra of hemoproteins vitamin B12 and chlorophyll.
