Cadmium: From Toxicity to Essentiality by Wolfgang Maret, Jean-Marc Moulis (auth.), Astrid Sigel,

Posted by

By Wolfgang Maret, Jean-Marc Moulis (auth.), Astrid Sigel, Helmut Sigel, Roland KO Sigel (eds.)

Volume eleven offers in an authoritative and well timed demeanour in sixteen stimulating chapters, written by means of forty across the world well-known specialists from eleven international locations, and supported via greater than 2600 references, 35 tables, and over a hundred illustrations, many in colour, a most recent view at the position of cadmium for all times, almost immediately a colourful learn quarter. MILS-11 covers the bioinorganic chemistry of Cd(II), its biogeochemistry, anthropogenic unlock into the surroundings, and speciation within the surroundings, waters, soils, and sediments. The analytical instruments for Cd selection, its imaging in cells, and using 113Cd NMR to probe Zn(II) and Ca(II) proteins are summarized, as are Cd(II) interactions with nucleotides, nucleic acids, amino acids, and proteins together with metallothioneins. The phytoremediation via Cd(II)-accumulating crops, etc., the toxicology of Cd(II), its harm to mammalian organs, and its position as a carcinogen for people, are highlighted.
