Metal Ions in Biological Systems
Volume 40: The Lanthanides and Their Interrelations with Biosystems
Introduction to Lanthanides
Many may know lanthanides under the homier name of rare earth elements, but that is less used scientifically because they are, in fact, not at all rare.
Focus of the Book
Highlighting fast-moving research on lanthanides and their interrelations with biosystems, this book emphasizes the recent impact of these metals in biochemical, biological, and medical research, including in magnetic resonance imaging (MRI).
Contents Overview
The first two chapters outline their abundance and distribution, chemical properties such as oxidation states and ionic radii, and their mobilization through microorganisms like bacteria and fungi.
Author and Resources
It is written by 38 internationally recognized experts and enriched with nearly 200 illustrations and 1900 references.
