Fourteen articles by leading researchers constitute the first book exclusively devoted to the biological utilization of nickel. The articles range from the chemistry and physics of nickel complexes in general to the roles of this metal in cellular catalytic phenomena. The book's purpose is to provide extensive background for non-specialists, as well as insight into the possible future research directions. The contributions are broad-based and in some cases speculative, rather than merely compendia of recent data.
