Welcome to the Handbook of Metalloproteins . Here you will find a wealth of information about this exciting and important publication, which was originally published in print in March 2004. The Handbook has been recently updated with some key new articles in this research area. This title is regularly updated to ensure that you have access to the most relevant and up-to-date information. Please click on What's New for the latest information.

• Colour illustrations throughout  
• Graphical structures of modified Metalloproteins for easier understanding of functions  
• Recognized worldwide experts contributing and editing (Robert Huber won the Nobel prize for chemistry in 1988)  
• Extensive bibliography and referencing

This amazing reference work is an essential reference providingcomprehensive understanding and focused coverage of Metalloproteins. The Handbook of Metalloproteins covers a number of metals, including iron, nickel,manganese, cobalt, copper and vanadium, and provides detailed information onproteins found in the redox-inactive ions of zinc and calcium. It includescomprehensive coverage for each metalloprotein.

• Graphical representation of the 3D structure: full colour representation of the overall fold in form of a ribbon plot including the metal active site(s), ball-and-stick representation of the metal active site(s).

• Presents the functional class: enzyme, electron transfer protein, metal storage, metal transport, transcription factor, etc.
• Occurrence: names the organism(s), organ(s) and cell compartments where the metalloprotein occurs.
• Biological function: discusses in a broad biological context the known or putative biological function of the metalloprotein.
• Amino Acid sequence information: lists the references known for both the particular and related proteins.
• Spectroscopic data: reviews relevant properties obtained from the whole spectrum of spectroscopic techniques (UV/vis absorption, EPR, ENDOR, NMR, Resonance Raman, X-Ray, etc.).
• Functional derivatives: examines the 3D structures of modified metalloproteins to offer essential information for understanding their function.
• Metal content and co-factors: states the nature of the protein’s metal(s), the content, the nature and content of other co-factors like heme, cobalamine, etc. Includes the method(s) of determination of the metal(s) or co-factor(s).
• Protein production, purification and molecular characterisation: reports on the production of the protein by recombinant techniques, growth of bacteria or fungi taken from special parts of a plant or animal.
• Comparative information: identifies classes allowing comparisons between the same and different metalloproteins.
