Themed Issue: Third International Symposium on Metallomics 2011Michael Sperling (Editorial)
Metallomics, 3/12, 2011The
Third International Symposium on Metallomics was held in Münster (Germany) from June 15 to June 18, 2011. With 39 countries represented, it was a truly international meeting, and the impressive number of more than 320 participants underlined the growing interest in this emerging research area. The collection of papers within this special issue tries to capture the spirit of this event and gives an impression of the different aspects of metallomics discussed during the symposium: development and exploration of tools for metallomics research such as PAGE/LA-ICP-MS, the use of the tools to determine metal(loid) species in cells and tissues, the use of metals for labeling of biomolecules, the study of the role of metals for the structure of biomolecules, the investigation of the binding sites of metals to biomolecules, the bioaccumulation of metals in biological systems, the mechanisms of metal toxicity and the activity of metallodrugs.
Themed Issue: Speciation
Michael Sperling and
Joanna Szpunar (Guest editors)
J. Anal. At. Spectrom., 26/1, 2011
27 contributions— including 3 reviews and 21 original research papers—from the university laboratories and research institutes in Europe and Asia provide a wide scope of the studies of chemical forms of elements in the environment and biology. Despite its mature age, speciation continues to be an attractive research area facing on a number of challenges being successfully addressed by the creativity of researchers assisted by the progress in instrumentation, especially in mass spectrometry and coupled techniques.
Speciation analysis in healthcare
H. Goenaga-Infante (ed.)
Anal. Bioanal. Chem., 399/5, 2011
This special issue comprises a review and a feature article, four original papers and a technical note. Together, these highlight the complexity and role of speciation measurements in providing information relevant to food and environmental safety and compound-specific metabolism. The articles cover a range of elemental species of different types (e.g. stable arsenosugars and labile manganese complexes) and samples of different complexity (e.g. urine, welding aerosols and cells). It is hoped that this collection of excellent papers will help to broaden the horizons for developments in this field.
Bioinorganic Mass Spectrometry and Metallomics
Johanna Sabine Becker (ed.)
International Journal of Mass Spectrometry. 307/1-3, 2011
Mass spectrometry is one of the most important analytical techniques used today for the determination of element concentration, for surface and isotope analysis, and for structural analysis of organic and bioorganic compounds due to its very high sensitivity and low detection limits. The importance of bioinorganic mass spectrometry has increased rapidly in the last few years due to a significant improvement of analytical techniques with respect to sensitivity, dynamic range, detection limits, precision and accuracy. This special issue of the International Journal of Mass Spectrometry concerns the growing significance of bioinorganic mass spectrometry, elemental imaging and metallomics studies with 32 scientific contributions (including 8 invited reviews) of more than hundred authors from 14 nations: Austria, Belgium, Brazil, Canada, China, France, Germany, Israel, Monaco, Spain, Switzerland, Thailand, United Kingdom and USA.
Nuclear Analytical Techniques for Metallomics and Metalloproteomics
Chun-ying Chen, Zhi-fang Chai, Yu-xi Gao,
Royal Society of Chemistry, 2010, 416 Pages (ISBN 978-1-84755-991-3)
The intent of this book is to provide readers with a comprehensive view of application of advanced nuclear analytical techniques for metallomics and metalloproteomics, both areas emerging as scientific hot topics in bioanalytical and inorganic chemistry and biochemistry. Metallomics and metalloproteomics study is not only for chemists involved in nuclear techniques and speciation, it also be important for environmental, nutritional and clinical researcher and drug developer. This authoritative book sets out to emphasize and describe the superiority of nuclear analytical techniques and the importance of metallomics and metalloproteomics study in the multidisciplinary research field. Analytical chemists and scientists working on bioanalytical and inorganic chemistry and biochemistry of metals; or on metabolic or environmental related speciation studies will find this book an invaluable reference point.
Introduction to XAFS: A Practical Guide to X-ray Absorption Fine Structure SpectroscopyGrant Bunker
Cambridge University Press. 2010, 268 pages (ISBN 0-5121-75775-X)
X-ray absorption fine structure spectroscopy (XAFS) is a powerful and versatile technique for studying structures of materials in chemistry, physics, biology and other fields. This textbook is a comprehensive, practical guide to carrying out and interpreting XAFS experiments. Assuming only undergraduate-level physics and mathematics, the textbook is ideally suited for graduate students in physics and chemistry starting XAFS-based research. It contains concise executable example programs in Mathematica 7. Supplementary material available at www.cambridge.org/9780521767750 includes Mathematica code from the book, related Mathematica programs, and worked data analysis examples. The textbook addresses experiment, theory, and data analysis, but is not tied to specific data analysis programs or philosophies. This makes it accessible to a broad audience in the sciences, and a useful guide for researchers entering the subject.
Metal Complexes-DNA InteractionsNick Hadjiliadis, Einar Sletten
John Wiley & Sons, 2009, 543 pages
Metal ions and metal complexes have long been recognized as critically important components of nucleic acid chemistry, both in regulation of gene expression and as promising therapeutic agents. Understanding how metal complexes interact with DNA has become an active research area at the interface between chemistry, molecular biology and medicine.
Metal Complex - DNA Interactions provides a comprehensive overview of this increasingly diverse field, presenting recent developments and the latest research with particular emphasis on metal-based drugs and metal ion toxicity.
Elemental Speciation in Human Health Risk Assessment,
P. Apostoli, R. Cornelis, J. Duffus, P. Hoet, D. Lison, D. Templeton,
Environmental Health Criteria #234, WHO, Geneva, 2007, 256 pages (ISBN 92 4 157234 5)
The
purpose of this book is to assess, evaluate, and give guidance on the
role of elemental speciation and speciation analysis in human health
hazard and risk assessment. The book is directed at risk assessors and
regulators, to emphasize the importance of consideration of speciation
in their deliberations. To date, this issue has not been a part of most
hazard and risk assessments. Further aims of the publication are to
encourage the analysis of speciation of elements to increase knowledge
on the effect of speciation on mode of action and to increase
understanding of health effects.
Instrumental Methods in Metal Ion Speciation,
Imran Ali, Hassan Y. Aboul-Enein,
CRC Press, 2006, 376 pages (ISBN: 0-8493-3736-4)
Instrumental
Methods in Metal Ion Speciation provides comprehensive coverage of the
distribution, toxicities, and techniques of metal ion speciation. The
authors discuss techniques such as gas and liquid chromatography,
capillary electrophoresis, and both electrochemical and radiochemical
methods. The text also covers the principles of metal ion speciation,
sample preparation, and metal ion speciation into environmental and
biological samples using various techniques.
