Reihe: Metal Ions in Life Sciences

Helmut Sigel, Astrid Sigel and Roland K.O. Sigel, in closecooperation with John Wiley & Sons, launch a new Series"Metal Ions in Life Sciences". The philosophy of theSeries is based on the one successfully applied to a previousseries published by another publisher, but the move from"biological systems" to "life sciences"will open the aims and scope and allow for the publication of bookstouching on the interface between chemistry, biology, pharmacology,biochemistry and medicine.
Volume 2 focuses on the vibrant research area concerningnickel as well as its complexes and their role in Nature. With morethan 2,800 references and over 130 illustrations, itis an essential resource for scientists working in the wide rangefrom inorganic biochemistry all the way through to medicine.
In 17 stimulating chapters, written by 47internationally recognized experts, Nickel and Its SurprisingImpact in Nature highlights critically the biogeochemistryof nickel, its role in the environment, in plants andcyanobacteria, as well as for the gastric pathogen Helicobacterpylori, for gene expression and carcinogenensis. In addition,it covers the complex-forming properties of nickel with aminoacids, peptides, phosphates, nucleotides, and nucleic acids. Thevolume also provides sophisticated insights in the recent progressmade in understanding the role of nickel in enzymes such asureases, hydrogenases, superoxide dismutases, acireductonedioxygenases, acetyl-coenzyme A synthases, carbon monoxidedehydrogenases, methyl-coenzyme M reductases...and it reveals thechaperones of nickel metabolism.

Über Autor(innen)

Astrid Sigel has studied languages and was an editor of theMetal Ions in Biological Systems series (until Volume 44)and also of the Handbooks on Toxicity of Inorganic Compounds(1988), on Metals in Clinical and Analytical Chemistry(1994; both with H.G. Seiler), and on Metalloproteins (2001;with Ivano Bertini) (Dekker, New York).
Helmut Sigel is Emeritus Professor (2003) ofInorganic Chemistry at the University of Basel, Switzerland, and aprevious editor of the MIBS series until Volume 44. Heserves on various editorial and advisory boards, published over 300articles on metal ion complexes of nucleotides, coenzymes, andother ligands of biological relevance, and lectured worldwide. Hewas named Protagonist in Chemistry (2002) by ICA(issue 339); among further honors are the P. Ray Award(Indian Chemical Society, of which he is also an Honorary Fellow),the Werner Award (Swiss Chemical Society), a Doctor ofScience honoris causa degree (Kalyani University, India),appointments as Visiting Professor (e.g., Austria, China,UK) and Endowed Lectureships.
Roland K.O. Sigel is Assistant Professor (2003) ofInorganic Chemistry at the University of Zürich, Switzerland,endowed with a Förderungsprofessur of the SwissNational Science Foundation. He received his doctoral degreesumma cum laude (1999) from the University of Dortmund,Germany, working with Bernhard Lippert; thereafter he spent nearlythree years at Columbia University, New York, USA, in the group ofAnna Marie Pyle (now Yale University); during the six years abroadhe received several fellowships from various sources. His researchfocuses on the structural and catalytic role of metal ions inribozymes, especially group II introns, and on related topics. Hewas also an editor of Volumes 43 and 44 of the MIBSseries.
