Abstract
In biological systems, metals play an important role. They participate in electron transfer or catalyze important reactions (metalloenzymes). Many of these metal ions are bound to the protein environment in the form of complexes. In this chapter, the aspects of interest with regard to coordination chemistry are discussed on the basis of two examples.
