Vanadium is named after Vanadis, the most aristocratic ofNorse goddesses, who symbolises beauty and fertility - essentialfeatures of vanadium chemistry. It is a ubiquitous trace element,with a surprising range of biological functions. In BioinorganicVanadium Chemistry, Dieter Rehder addresses the major aspectsof vanadium chemistry related to living organisms and themutual impact between biological and inorganic vanadium chemistry.Topics covered include:
* the history, natural occurrence, distribution and impact ofvanadium
* inorganic aspects of the function of vanadium in biologicalsystems
* interaction of aqueous vanadate and vanadyl with biogenicligands
* vanadium coordination compounds
* the vanadium-carbon bond
* methods of characterisation of biogenic and model vanadiumsystems (EPR and ENDOR for oxovanadium(IV); ¯51V NMR forvanadium(V); XAS)
* vanadium in ascidians and polychaeta worms
* the concentration of vanadium in the form of amavadin byAmanita mushrooms
* vanadate-dependent haloperoxidases
* vanadium and the nitrogen cycle
* vanadate as energiser for bacteria, and vanadophores
* medicinal aspectsm including the anti-diabetic potential ofvanadium compounds
* interaction of vanadium with proteins and proteinsubstrates
* vanadium and phosphate-metabolising enzymes
Bioinorganic Vanadium Chemistry conveys the essentialaspects of vanadium bioinorganic chemistry, making this book avaluable complement to more general bioinorganic chemistry textsand more specialized topical reviews for researchers and studentsalike.
