In the first nine articles of this series, we explored some basic principles pertaining to questions such as why a certain element is required for certain biological functions and why the metalloenzymes behave the way they do, based on four very basic principles (1). We will now explore some other basic issues of bioinorganic chemistry. This article examines the electron transport processes in proteins and DNAs.
Our Secondary School editors work hard to distill all the JCE materials to produce a fraction of particular interest to high school teachers. We call it CLIC.
In recent years we have worked hard to better match our advertisers with our readers. When shopping for chemistry education materials, visit our advertisers' WWW sites first.
