Handbook of Copper Pharmacology and Toxicology

Humana Press, 2002

Copper (Cu), an essential trace element, is required for the survival of organisms ranging from bacteria to mammals. Because Cu ions can adopt distinct redox states (oxidized Cu[II] or reduced Cu[I]), they play a pivotal role in cell physiology as catalytic cofactors in the redox chemistry of enzymes involved in a broad spectrum of...
