This volume provides up–to–date information on all major families of metal–binding proteins, including their structural, physico–chemical, and functional properties. After an introduction to cation binding, it discusses methods for the investigation of the binding of different cations to proteins. Then it gives characteristics of Ca–binding proteins, followed by descriptions of Mg, Zn, Fe, Co, Cu, Wo, Mn, Na, and K–binding proteins. The final chapter deals with the interaction of different cations with nucleic acids. With principles of proteomics and examples throughout, this is the definitive reference on metal–binding proteins.
