The development and subject of bioinorganic chemistry
Subject: The exploration and modeling the biological role (absorption,
binding, transport, distribution, function, excertion) of inorganic
elements (essential or toxic), as well as the practical applications of
these findings in pharmacy, in agriculture, in environmental protection
etc.
Development: parallel with the development of other disciplines:
- biochemistry: coloured proteins, biological redox processes, etc.
- Increase of the sensitivity of analytical methods:
~ 50 – 70 chemical elements have been usually detected in real
biological samples.
- clinical observations: diseases due to metabolic disturbances of
-metal ions
-coordination chemistry: stability of metal ion – bioligand interactions
Descriptive knowledge will be given primarily based on the
function of the metal ions and not on their position in the
periodic table.
- Distribution of the elements in biology and their evolution.
- Interactions of biomolecules and metal ions.
- Enzymes, metalloenzymes.
- Metabolism of metal ions, absorption, transport, storage.
- The role of metal ions in biological processes (unequal ion
distribution, electrontransfer, enzymes, activation of small
molecules).
- Complex physiological effects of metal ions (disfunctions in
metal ion homeostasis, toxic metal ions, medicinal
applications)
- Appendicies: Basic coordination chemistry. Methods.
Elemental composition of biological systems
Results of the chemical analysis of biological samples:
practically all elements of the periodic table (min. 50-70 element)
can be detected in real biological samples by up to date analytical
instruments.
Classification
Essential elements
occur in a given concentration range,
they excert positive biological effects for several different
species
- Impurity elements
their quantity is a function of environmental effects
types :
„indifferent” elements
„beneficial” elements
toxic elements

Essential elements
(conditions for classification)
1. Positive physiological response can be ascribed to their
presence in the case of several species.
2. They occur in well defined concentration range in each species,
3. Deprival (from food) will results in reproducible and negative
physiological changes. These effects can be reversible reversed
or at least reduced by addition of the given element.
4. Their deficiency and excess is connected with well defined
diseseases.
5. The biological presence of the element is connected with well
defined biochemical processes.

Factors affecting the selection of the trace elements
1. Priority of the C based life: C, H, O, N, S, P
may life be based on other element? (B, Si,...)
(not known and is not very likely)
2. Accumulation of the inorganic components
- composition of the today’s and the prehistoric men
- environmental conditions of the origin of life
occurrance in the earth crust/sea water and their changes
- role of chemical factors: COMPLEX FORMATION
solubility factors
redox potential
hard-soft theory

Development of organic compounds/life
– 4 billion years ago: solidification of the Earth’ crust
atmosphere of the Earth: reductive
H2, He  elimination to the cosmos
the most stable C compounds: CH4, CO és CO2
further main components: H2O, SO2, N2
– prehistoric ocean: H2O + N2 + NH3 + SO2 + CO2 + H2 + CO + ...
And from other simple inorganic compounds under the reactive
conditions (on the effects of UV, cosmic, radioactiv radiations and
electric discharges) abiogen formation of simple organic compounds
(e.g. amino acids, nucleic bases, etc.) → development of the
anaerobic forms of life (3.5 billion years ago)
(Deeply in the ocean because of the strong UV radiation.)
Development of oxygen atmosphere I.
– H2O in the atmosphere UV-light, photodissociation
H2, O2
- At the hight of 11 km: –60 ºC, vapour precipitates, H2 „migrates”
O2 is layered above the ice/water
- Conditions of anaerobic metabolism start to be exhausted.
– Oxygen in the atmosphere decreses UV radiation; at a level of the
0.001 part of the today’s level photodissociation stops and thus
→ further increase in the oxygen level is possible only in a
biological way.
- However, O2 is toxic for the anaerobic life forms
aerobic life forms starts:
→ development of
 photosynthesis
H2O + CO2 + h
O2 + CH2O (carbohydrates)
Development of oxygen atmosphere II.
– 2,5 – 3 billion years ago the O2 reaches 0.01 part of the
today’s level  perspiration instead of anaerobic
fermentation  higher organisation at 30 cm depth of the
oceans
– 600 - 700 million years ago the O2 reaches 0.1 part of the
today’ s level; the ozone layer becomes thicker  life could
leave the ocean and occurred on the earth
- 300 million years ago the today’s atmosphere was formed
→ elementar composition of the biological systems becomes
stable (further changes occur only by human activity)
Classification of the role of trace elements
1. Transport and storage of small biomolecules
e.g. O2 transport: hemoglobin (Fe) hemerythrin (Fe) hemocyanin (Cu)
O2 storage: myoglobin (Fe),....
2. Activation of molecules: metalloenzymes
a/ catalyses of redox processes:
FeIII/FeII és CuII/CuI redox systems (+ Mn, Co, Mo,....)
b/ catalyses of acid-base processes (hydrolitic reactions)
ZnII-complexes (+ Ca, Mg, (Mn,...))
3. Stabilisation of conformation of macromolecules
a/ metalloenzymes (the metal ion is not active centrum)
b/ zinc fingers (structure makers)
4. Transport and storage of trace elements:
e.g. ferritin, transferrin (Fe)

Mi a különbség a hasznos és a létfontosságú elemek
között?
Mennyire különböző koncentrációban szükségesek a
létfontosságú elemek az emberi szervezet számára?
Változott-e a létfontosságú elemek csoportja a kémiai
és biológiai evolúció során? Példákkal igazolja
állítását!
Milyen kémiai illetve biológiai folyamat változtatta meg
a redukáló ősatmoszférát oxidálóvá?
Hogyan védekeztek az őssejtek a számukra mérgező
oxigén megjelenése ellen?
