Spectroscopic and structural properties of metallo-proteins

  • Published:
La Rivista del Nuovo Cimento (1978-1999) Aims and scope

Conclusions

The author is aware that the argument treated in this review article is so wide that it cannot be exhausted in a single paper and, perhaps, not even in a book. However, the principal purpose was to give a panoramic view as wide as possible of the problems concerning metallo-proteins and, furthermore, to show how knowledges from different fields (physics, chemistry, biology) can concur to the understanding of their properties.

If the present article will stimulate someone to apply his own competence to the investigation of biological processes, it will signify that the main goal has been reached.
