Many may know lanthanides under the homier name of rare earth elements, but that is less used scientifically because they are, in fact, not at all rare. Highlighting research on lanthanides and their interrelations with biosystems, this book emphasizes the impact of these metals in biochemical, biological, and medical research.

This volume first considers the categories of zinc metalloenzymes, together with models of the enzymic metal-ion binding sites. It covers the nutritional aspects of zinc: its absorption and excretion, its influence on the activity of enzymes and hormones, and the zinc deficiency syndrome.
