What is bioinorganic chemistry?
Q: What is bioinorganic chemistry?
A: Bioinorganic chemistry is the study of the role of metals in biology, as well as natural phenomena such as the behaviour of metalloproteins and artificially introduced metals in medicine and toxicology. It also involves studying inorganic models or mimics that imitate how metalloproteins work, which combines biochemistry with inorganic chemistry.
Q: What biological processes depend on some inorganic molecules?
A: Many biological processes such as respiration depend on some inorganic molecules.
Q: What does bioinorganic chemistry involve studying?
A: Bioinorganic chemistry involves studying the implications for biology of electron-transfer proteins, substrate bindings and activation, atom and group chemistry as well as metal properties.
Q: How does bioinorganic chemistry combine biochemistry with inorganic chemistry?
A: Bioinorganic chemistry combines biochemistry with inorganic chemistry by studying in organic models or mimics that imitate how metalloproteins work.
Q: What are examples of naturally occurring phenomena studied by bioinorganinc chemists?
A: Examples of naturally occurring phenomena studied by bioinorganinc chemists include the behaviour of metalloproteins and artificially introduced metals in medicine and toxicology.
Q: What do electron-transfer proteins have to do with bioinoragnic chemstry?
A: Electron-transfer proteins are one aspect studied by bioinoragnic chemstry, along with substrate bindings and activation, atom and group chemistry as well as metal properties.
