Truly extraordinary metalloenzymes with highly subtle mechanisms are responsible for this activation. Bioinorganic chemistry straddles the disciplines of chemistry and biology and is in full expansion today. This discipline was born of the recent realisation that life is not solely organic but also “mineral”, and that no life can exist without metals.Leçons inaugurales du Collège de France.BiologyHILCCHealth & Biological SciencesHILCCBiology - GeneralHILCCchemistrybioinorganic chemistrymoleculebiological chemistryBiologyHealth & Biological SciencesBiology - GeneralFontecave Marc802310PQKBUkMaJRU9910133538603321Chemistry of biological processes2111936UNINA
