What is Techniques and Topics in Bioinorganic Chemistry about?
ix constant for the co-ordination of dioxygen by iron (II) in haemoglobin and myoglobin; (b) the kinetics of individual steps, as in the reactions of the iron in peroxidase and catalase with hydrogen peroxide and other substrates; and (c) the thermodynamics of the overall reaction, as in driving the endothermic reduction of dinitrogen to hydrazine by means of a second, thermodynamically favourable, reaction. The discussion is not restricted to iron and molybdenum; a postscript is added on the isomerase reactions of vitamin B 12 . Earlier in this part it is pointed out that the cofactor that co-ordinates dioxygen may be an iron porphyrin, nonhaem iron, copper and even vanadium-nature has come up with several solutions to the co-ordination-chemistry problem of how to bind dioxygen. Part 3 concerns the more general aspects of molybdenum biochemistry, which illustrates in particular the large volume of work being done on so-called model compounds. Thus, the use of spectroscopic and magnetic techniques to yield information about the structure and bonding in xanthine oxidase, aldehyde oxidase, nitrate reductase and nitrogenase is in turn used to design model compounds for biological beha
