| Description: |
A presentation of our understanding of the anaerobic chemistry of early life, with stress on nickel and iron enzymes and the recent aerobic life based on copper. The essence of the volume lies in an appreciation of metalloenzymes and their changing roles as the environment changed. |
| Synopsis: |
In this book the first three chapters outline the chemistry of nickel and heme largely associated with anaerobic life and believed to represent reactions which took place some 3-4x109years ago. Nickel has disappeared from the chemistry of man. The fascinating detail of the "primitive" catalysts is of interest to industrial society since very simple feed-stock is used, hydrogen, carbon monoxide and sulphate for example. The fourth chapter switches attention to a metal which became valuable later in evolution, copper, and which is involved with the use of dioxygen. It also has extremely interesting catalytic sites in enzymes. The essence of the volume lies in an appreciation of metallo- enzymes and their changing roles as the environment changed. |
