Biological Chemistry of Arsenic, Antimony and Bismuth is an essential overview of the biological chemistry of these three elements, with contributions from an international panel of experts. Topics covered include:

• chemistry of As, Sb and Bi
• biological chemistry of arsenic
• biological chemistry of Sb and Bi
• arsenic and antimony speciation in environmental and biological samples
• arsenic in traditional chinese medicine
• arsenic in aquifers
• biomethylation of As, Sb and Bi
• uptake of metalloids by cells
• bismuth complexes of porphyrins and their potential in medical applications
• Helicobacter pylori and bismuth
• metabolism of arsenic trioxide in blood of the acute promyelocytic leukemia patients
• anticancer properties of As, Sb and Bi
• radio-Bi in cancer therapy
• genotoxicity of As, Sb and Bi
• metallomics as a new technique for As, Sb and Bi
• metalloproteomics for As, Sb and Bi

Biological Chemistry of Arsenic, Antimony and Bismuth conveys the essential aspects of the bioinorganic chemistry of these three elements, making this book a valuable complement to more general bioinorganic chemistry texts and more specialized topical reviews. It will find a place on the bookshelves of practitioners, researchers and students working in bioinorganic chemistry and medicinal chemistry.
