This book covers the varied catalytic activities of O2-dependent heme enzymes. Heme proteins are distributed widely in biological systems and are involved in a wide range of processes that are essential to the cell. Edited and authored by the leading global researchers in this area, this text will be a useful resource for postgraduate students and researchers in biochemistry and metallobiology working in or moving into research areas involving heme proteins.

Aerobic organisms have evolved to utilise the intrinsic oxidising power of oxygen from the atmosphere. This so-called 'activation' of oxygen is often catalysed by a heme-containing enzyme. This book highlights the many and varied catalytic activities of O₂-dependent heme–iron enzymes, including monoxygenases and cytochrome P450, dioxygenases, oxidases and model heme systems.
