Metalloenzymes: From Bench to Bedside offers a thorough overview of metalloenzymes, spanning biochemical and structural features, pharmacology, and biotechnological applications. After a brief overview, international experts in the field discuss a wide range of magnesium, calcium, zinc, manganese, nickel, iron, copper, cadmium, molybdenum, and tungsten enzymes, along with catalytic roles within their active sites. With a uniform approach throughout, each chapter includes the structure and function of the enzyme, physiologic and pathologic roles, inhibitors and activators of the enzyme (and their design), and clinical agents or compounds applied in medicine and drug discovery. This book enables scientists across academia and industry to adopt ongoing metalloenzyme research, and continuous discovery of novel metalloenzymes, in new life science studies and clinical applications.
