METAL IONS IN BIOLOGICAL MOLECULES

Abstract

The main topics discussed in this report are: (1) The central role of metals in enzymatic systems; (2) The Mossbauer effect as a tool in investigating biological molecules containing iron; (3) The combination of Rayleigh scattering with Mossbauer scattering as a possible method for molecular structure analysis; and (4) Recent improvements in the resolution of the hemoglobin structure and its implications for allostericity.
