Description

Providing basic understanding of the chemistry of d-block metals in metalloproteins and of metal-based bioactive compounds.

• Role of metal ions in biology, essential and non-essential metals.
• Methods and concepts of importance in bioinorganic chemistry.
• Cu-proteins, Cu-enzymes and their models: electron transfer, activation of oxygen and other moelcuels, oxygen transport, etc.
