The field of bioinorganic chemistry is at a propitious stage of development. Ever more
complex metallobiomolecules are isolated and purified, physical methodologies and …

Copper is a bioessential element in biology with truly unique chemical characteristics in its
two relevant oxidation states+ I and+ II. Significant progress has been made in recent years …

The spectroscopic and electrochemical properties of blue copper proteins are strikingly
different from those of inorganic copper complexes in aqueous solution. Over three decades …

N 2 O is a potent greenhouse gas and stratospheric reactant that has been steadily on the
rise since the beginning of industrialization. It is an obligatory inorganic metabolite of …

This Handbook on Metalloproteins focuses on the available structural information of proteins
and their metal ion coordination spheres. It centers on the metal ions indispensable for life …

Publisher Summary Twinning is a crystal growth anomaly in which a specimen is composed
of separate crystal domains whose orientations differ in a specific way. Multiple-crystal …

Background: The reduction of plastocyanin by cytochrome f is part of the chain of
photosynthetic electron transfer reactions that links photosystems II and I. The reaction is …

Eukaryotic photosystem I consists of two functional moieties: the photosystem I core,
harboring the components for the light-driven charge separation and the subsequent …

Plastocyanin is one of the best characterized of the photosynthetic electron transfer proteins.
Since the determination of the structure of poplar plastocyanin in 1978, the structure of algal …

Copper is required for many biological processes but is toxic at high cellular concentrations,
so levels in the cell must be strictly controlled. Copper-binding motifs have been identified …
