Gold Bulletin Aims and scope Submit manuscript

Abstract

Interest in the effects of gold compounds on biological systems ranges from their use for anti-inflammatory and anti-bacterial purposes to the study of the method of uptake of gold by micro-organisms. By the application of modern physical techniques new light is being shed on the mechanism of action of gold in these areas.
