Bio-inorganic chemistry deals with the functions of biometals \u003cem\u003ein vivo\u003c\/em\u003e at an atomic to molecular level, while cellular regulation of biometals such as absorption and transport has been investigated in cell biology. Although these research fields are independently developed and matured, interdisciplinary information across these fields is required for a comprehensive understanding of the roles of biometals at atomic to molecular, cellular and organism levels.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eThis book focuses on iron (Fe) in cells, since it is the most abundant metal in living system and is involved in a variety of physiological events such as enzymatic reactions as catalysts and signal transduction. Both excess and shortage of iron cause serious diseases such as anaemia, cancer and neuronal degeneration. The cellular systems consisting of many specific proteins strictly control the iron contents through the iron dynamics in cells including absorption, sensing, storage, transport and usage.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eResulting from a 5-year project on Integrated Biometal Science in Japan, this book not only documents the latest research but also fills a gap between chemical understanding and our real life, by providing fundamental ideas on genetics, drugs and environmental health.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eAuthor:\u003c\/b\u003e Yoshitsugu Shiro\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-10:\u003c\/b\u003e 183767440X\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eISBN-13:\u003c\/b\u003e 9781837674404\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublisher:\u003c\/b\u003e Royal Society of Chemistry\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eLanguage:\u003c\/b\u003e English\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePublished:\u003c\/b\u003e 06\/13\/2025\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003ePages:\u003c\/b\u003e 378\u003cbr\u003e\u003cb\u003eFormat:\u003c\/b\u003e Hardcover","brand":"Yoshitsugu Shiro","offers":[{"title":"Hardcover","offer_id":46618142802175,"sku":"9781837674404","price":280.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0662\/2982\/9887\/files\/img_09155e48-fa75-4f6b-a688-0f45d5380b26.jpg?v=1740069282","url":"https:\/\/www.whiterainbookhouse.com\/products\/iron-in-biology-yoshitsugu-shiro-9781837674404","provider":"WR Book House","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
