Manganese and its Role in Biological Processes

Manganese in natural waters and earth's crust - its availability to organisms manganese transport in micro-organisms manganese uptake and transport in plants manganese metabolism in animals and humans including the toxicity of manganese interrelations between manganese and other metal ions in health and disease the use of manganese as a probe for elucidating the role of magnesium ions in ribozymes Mn2+ as a probe of divalent metal ion binding and function in enzymes and other proteins enzymes and proteins containing manganese - an overview manganese (II) in concanavalin and other lectin proteins manganese-activated phosphatases manganese (II) as a probe for the mechanism and specificity of restriction endonucleases the role of the binuclear manganese (II) site in xylose isomerase arginase - a binuclear manganese metalloenzyme the use of model complexes to elucidate the structure and function of manganese redox enzymes manganese (II)-dependent extradiol-cleaving catechol dioxygenases manganese catalases manganese peroxidase manganese superoxide dismutase mechanistic aspects of the tyrosyl radical-manganese complex the polypeptides of photosystem II and their influence on mangonotyrosyl-based oxygen evolution.
