Methods in Systems Bioinorganic Chemistry

Methods in Systems Bioinorganic Chemistry, Volume 741 provides understanding of high-level properties involving metals in biology that are founded on molecular or mechanistic level interactions. Currently, there is no established âtool kitâ for studying bioinorganic systems, so the methods included in the book span a diverse range of topics and approaches, from imaging to proteomics, from metals-in-mice to mathematical modeling. Specific chapters cover Inductively Coupled Plasma Mass Spectrometry (ICP-MS)-based methods to quantify transition metals in cells and vertebrate models, ICP-MS elemental analysis in tissue samples, and much more. Additional chapters delve into An inductively-coupled-plasma triple quadrupole method with oxygen for the determination of essential elements and protein concentration, Calculating metal speciation of proteins inside cells, Probing biological copper in the subfemtomolar regime, Using LC-ICP-MS chromatography to detect and characterize Labile Metal Pools, Linking dynamic bioinorganic chemistry processes of toxic metals in the bloodstream to establish their exposure-response relationship in humans, Contextualizing X-ray fluorescent microscopy â" high resolution X-rays meet subcellular morphology, Chemoproteomic profiling of transition metal binding sites in bacterial proteomes, Heme Labeling by Proximity (HeLP) to Identify Hemoproteins, and much more.
