Now volume 3 extends the wealth of knowledge to focus on proteins found in the redox-inactive ions of zinc and calcium. 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 Reviews from Volumes 1 \u0026amp; 2 \"it is a pleasure just to read this handsome and carefully produced work\" (Angewandte Chemie, Vol.41, 2002) \"...it is a pleasure to use ...this excellent, authoritative, and valuable text...I regard this work as essential for library purchase...\" (Natural Products Report, Vol.19, No.4, 2002) \"...highly recommended as a resource for bioinorganic chemistry.

Enzymes involved in direct oxygen activation are oxidases and oxygenases. Multi-copper oxidases are an important class of oxidases reducing dioxygen in a four-electron reduction to water with concomitant one-electron oxidation of the reducing substrate. The progress in the characterization and understanding of the structure and function of these enzymes has advanced so tremendously over the last ten years that the publication of a book documenting these achievements has been overdue.Especially the recent discovery of a key role of the FET3 protein of Saccharomyces cerevisae, a multi-copper oxidase, in iron metabolism of this eukaryote has underpinned the function of the plasma multi-copper oxidase ceruloplasmin in vetebrate iron transport. The lately determined x-ray structure of human ceruloplasmin confirms its close structural relatedness to the plant multi-copper oxidases ascorbate oxidase and laccase and due to strong amino-acid sequence similarities has allowed to construct a useful model of the more distantly related blood-clotting factor VIII.This book contains review articles from experts in the field, dealing with modern spectroscopy, enzyme kinetics, bioinorganic chemistry, x-ray crystallography, electron transfer reactions, molecular biology, medical aspects and potential industrial applications of the three main members of multi-copper oxidases, i.e., laccase, ascorbate oxidase and ceruloplasmin.","brand":"WoB","offers":[{"title":"GB \/ NEW \/ INGRAM","offer_id":52618145857809,"sku":"NLS9789810227111","price":0.0,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0784\/4072\/6801\/files\/9789810227111.jpg?v=1761532328"}],"url":"https:\/\/www.worldofbooks.com\/collections\/author-books-by-albrecht-messerschmidt.oembed","provider":"World of Books ","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
