Description: Researched and written by a group of highly respected professionals in the fields of biochemistry, microbiology, and molecular genetics, this resource offers a comprehensive treatment on the role of metal ions in regulating genes. In addition to looking at the toxicity effects of metal, this text explores the role of metal ions in normal metabolisms, examining both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

Metal Ions in Gene Regulation should prove an essential reference for all microbiologists, biochemists, bioinorganic chemists, and molecular biologists, especially those interested in gene regulation.
