Sigel, in close cooperation with John Wiley \u0026amp; Sons, launch a new Series “Metal Ions in Life Sciences”. The philosophy of the Series is based on the one successfully applied to a previous series published by another publisher, but the move from “biological systems” to “life sciences” will open the aims and scope and allow for the publication of books touching on the interface between chemistry, biology, pharmacology, biochemistry and medicine.  \u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eVolume 2\u003c\/b\u003e focuses on the vibrant research area concerning nickel as well as its complexes and their role in Nature.

In addition, it covers the complex-forming properties of nickel with amino acids, peptides, phosphates, nucleotides, and nucleic acids. The volume also provides sophisticated insights in the recent progress made in understanding the role of nickel in enzymes such as ureases, hydrogenases, superoxide dismutases, acireductone dioxygenases, acetyl-coenzyme A synthases, carbon monoxide dehydrogenases, methyl-coenzyme M reductases...and it reveals the chaperones of nickel metabolism.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/div\u003e\u003cdiv\u003e  \u003cb\u003eAstrid Sigel\u003c\/b\u003e has studied languages and was an editor of the \u003ci\u003eMetal Ions in Biological Systems\u003c\/i\u003e series (until Volume 44) and also of the \u003ci\u003eHandbooks on Toxicity of Inorganic Compounds\u003c\/i\u003e (1988), \u003ci\u003eon Metals in Clinical and Analytical Chemistry\u003c\/i\u003e (1994; both with H.G.
