Iron and copper proteins

About this book

An Fe- and Cu-Protein Symposium was held on December 15-18, 1975 the East West Center-University of Hawaii and was sponsored by United States-Japan Cooperative Science Program under the auspices of the National Science Foundation and the Japan Society the Promotion of Science. It was recognized by the organizers of the symposium that talloproteins are very important in the field of health science and a subject worthy of discussion by experts from the United States, Japan and Europe. The meeting was restricted to Fe- and proteins but this is still a very broad subject matter and therefore, selected topics of current interest in this field were chosen. This book contains the collected papers from most of the symposium participants. The subject matter covered in this book is divided into four parts. These are: 1) the iron-sulfur proteins (which are not a t of the mitochondrial electron transport system); 2) the iron-sulfur proteins and heme proteins of the mitochondrial electron sport system; 3) other heme and nonheme iron proteins; and 5) selected copper proteins.
