HANDBOOK OF METALLOPROTEINS V 3

While there are more than two hundred known 3D structures of zinc enzymes, the handbook focuses on contributions for those enzymes most relevant in research today. Also covered extensively, is the role of calcium ions as secondary messengers in controlling the many biological processes.

Each metalloprotein included is supported by extensive detail, including;

• Colour graphical representations of the 3D structure
• Functional class
• Occurrence
• Spectroscopic data
