Uniqueness of Zinc as a Bioelement: Principles and Applications in Bioinorganic Chemistry--III.

Ochiai, Ei-Ichiro

Journal of Chemical Education, v65 n11 p943-46 Nov 1988

Attempts to delineate certain basic principles and applications of bioinorganic chemistry to oxidation-reduction reactions. Examines why zinc(II) is so uniquely suited to enzymated reactions of the acid-base type. Suggests the answer may be in the natural abundance and the basic physicochemical properties of zinc(II).
