NKEK14015U The Chemistry of Metal Ions in Biological Systems
MSc Programme in Biology-Biotechnology
MSc Programme in Chemistry
MSc Programme in Biochemistry
MSc Programme in Environmental Chemistry and Health
The central purpose is to illustrate how metal ions are
essential for life. Their function may range from the simple charge
balance and structural role to the complex roles in which they
transfer electrons, break bonds, make bonds or control biochemical
reactions.
|
The objective of this course is to give the students a
thorough introduction to the function of metal ions in biological
systems and make the students able to analyze the structure and
function of metal ion containing biomolecules.
