Metal Ions in Biological Systems

Volume 38: Probing of Proteins by Metal Ions and Their Low-Molecular-Weight Complexes focuses on the vibrant area of probing enzymes or proteins by metal ions and small complexes. It offers a summary of the basic characteristics of the amide bond, emphasizing its proton and metal ion interactions, including a quantitative analysis of its hydrolysis and formation. Topics include Peptide bonds, footprinting, protein degradation, protein complexes, and protein cross-linking.
