Course Description
The course Bioinorganic Chemistry will provide students a general overview of the fundamental tasks performed by inorganic elements in living organisms as well as the related methods and theories with particular emphasis on enzymatic conversions, inorganic biomaterials and medical applications. The course details the numerous functions of metal ions and inorganic materials in biology. The interplay of metal centers with biogenic ligands is the source of the diverse functions, which in their combination form life. Correspondingly, interdisciplinary research on the inorganic chemistry of life is not only fundamental to progress in biochemistry and biology; it has developed into a major source of innovation for chemists in catalyst development, material chemistry and medicine. It further is of fundamental importance to understand and investigate many diseases.
