- Kurztext
- Examines tetrapyrroles: biological molecules involved in metabolism in all kingdoms of life, from photosynthesis to methanogenesis Addresses why tetrapyrroles are used in nature, how they are made, and what happens to them after they have finished their usefulness Reviews the chemical properties of the tetrapyrrole scaffold and, where appropriate, the chemical characteristics of the centrally chelated metal ion
