About this book

One of the biggest questions in today's biochemistry is how biological molecules became essential for the processes that occur within living cells. This new book from outstanding Metal Ions in Life Science series gives an overview about biochemical evolution of organic molecules and metabolic pathways in living systems and outlines the vital biochemical processes in microbial cells in which metals are involved.

Discusses the tools for element imaging in living systems
Explains why studying extremophiles is critical for understanding the principles of biochemical evolution
