Bioinorganic Chemistry is a specialized field that spans the chemistry of metal-containing molecules within biological systems.
Bioinorganic chemistry has developed from the continuing research in inorganic chemistry and its important associations in biological chemistry.
As a mix of biochemistry and inorganic chemistry, bioinorganic chemistry is important in realizing the implications of electron-transfer proteins, substrate bindings and activation, atom and group transfer chemistry as well as metal properties in biological chemistry.

 UW - La Crosse Chemistry Department/Different Types of Chemistry
Fundamentally, chemistry is the study of matter and change.The way that chemists study matter and change and the types of systems that are studied varies dramatically.
Organic chemistry is a sub-field of chemistry that involves studying the "molecules of life." It is mainly concerned with looking at the structure and behavior of these molecules, which are composed of only a few different types of atoms: carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and a few miscellaneous others.
Physical chemistry is the study of the fundamental physical principles that govern the way that atoms, molecules, and other chemical systems behave.

 Preface, Physical Methods in Bioinorganic Chemistry, Que   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-04)
The development of bioinorganic chemistry as a discipline over the last forty years is due in no small part to the availability of a variety of physical methods with which to probe the nature of the metal ion environment in the biological system of interest.
By piecing together the various clues derived from the physical methods, bioinorganic chemists have been able to form a coherent picture of the metal binding site and to deduce the role of the metal ion in a number of biological processes.
It is intended not only for beginning graduate students, but also as a source of information for scientists not previously trained in spectroscopy and magnetism but finding their research projects evolving in a direction that requires such physical methods.
