Overview

This book is intended for students in medicine, pharmacy, and dentistry, physicians, dentists, pharmacists, biochemists, and more.In General Chemistry, the laws of chemistry, the structure of simple and complex compounds, chemical bonds, solutions, chemical reactions, kinetics, equilibrium, thermodynamics, protolytic and redox processes, and sorption are discussed.In Inorganic Chemistry, chemical elements, inorganic compounds, and their significance for medicine are presented. It is focused on developing metal-based diagnostic and therapeutic agents. The significance of coordination chemistry to modulate enzyme activity is discussed. The production of reactive oxygen species selectively damaging cancer cells is described, too.Short biographies of chemists and scientists, which have rendered services to general and inorganic chemistry in medicine, are given in a person index.

Author Information

Professor Budin Michov, MD, PhD, DSc, studied medicine and specialized in biochemistry and clinical laboratory. He worked as a chemist and biochemist at the Technical University in Munich, Germany, and as a scientific adviser at SERVA Electrophoresis in Heidelberg, Germany. Later he became the chairman of the Department of Biochemistry at the Medical Faculty of Sofia University, Bulgaria. Prof Michov published articles on a new complex compound in TRIS-borate buffers, ionic mobility parameter, simplifying the Henry's function, electrophoresis in one buffer at two pH values, TRIS-formate-taurinate buffer system for SDS electrophoresis (patented), electrophoresis of proteins and nucleic acids in agarose gel, and more. He is the author of several books, too: Molecular Mechanisms of Inflammation and Allergy (1977); Electrophorese, Walter de Gruyter, Berlin – New York (1996), in German; Electrophoresis. Theory and Practice, Walter de Gruyter, Berlin – Boston (2020); Electrophoresis Fundamentals (2022), Walter de Gruyter, Berlin –Boston; and more.
