Part of the book series: Springer Advanced Texts in Chemistry ((SATC))

Abstract

This chapter will provide some basic concepts concerning the reactivity of biological systems utilizing metal ions. Although N, S, O, P, C, and H are the basic elements used to construct the building blocks of biological compounds, certain metal ions are essential to the organisms. It will be seen that the interactions of metal ions with biological molecules are generally of a coordinate nature and are used primarily for maintaining charge neutrality. Also, they are often involved in catalytic processes. Thus, the subjects developed in this chapter interphase organic and inorganic chemical principles.
