Future Directions in Metalloprotein and Metalloenzyme Research

This book covers the latest developments in metalloenzymes, including characterizing metal bridging in proteins and peptides, copper(II) complexes of marine peptides, high-spin Co(II) in model and metalloprotein systems to enzymes such as the molybdenum-containing enzymes, CW and pulse EPR of cytochrome P450 enzymes and the radical S-adenosylmethionine FeS family. In the previous two related volumes in the Biological Magnetic Resonance series, High-Resolution EPR: Applications to Metalloenzymes and Metals in Medicine and Metals in Biology:Applications of High-Resolution EPR to Metalloenzymes, topics covered included high-resolution EPR methods, iron proteins, nickel and copper enzymes, metals in medicine, ironsulfur cluster-containing proteins, and molybdenum enzymes. In this volume, new developments in these areas are covered in detail and new areas that have emerged are also detailed. This is an ideal book for graduate students and researchers working in the fie lds of high-resolution EPR, metalloenzymes, and metals in biology.

Offers in-depth coverage of topics utilizing high-resolution EPR methods to characterise iron, cobalt and copper ions in peptides, and metalloproteins and metalloenzymes Presents an isotopic dilution strategy for characterization of paramagnetic metal bridging of proteins and peptides Provides graduate students and experienced researchers with the latest developments in the fields of high-resolution EPR, metalloenzymes, and metals in biology
