FIG. 1.
FIG. 1.
Periodic representations of the elements. (A) Conventional table with linear columns and rows; the lanthanide and actinide elements, present in the on-line version, have been omitted for clarity of presentation. (B) Spiral representation of the elements which clusters elements that are prominent in biological systems. For on-line versions, see http://umbbd.ahc.umn.edu/periodic/.
FIG. 2.
FIG. 2.
Part of a pathway map for technetium (found at http://umbbd.ahc.umn.edu/tc/tc_map.html). Two reactions are shown. One is directly catalyzed by the enzyme technetium(VII) reductase, and the other is indirectly coupled to iron(III) reduction, and thus is labeled with an A to indicate nonspecificity.
