Bioinorganic Chemistry. Rosette M. Roat-Malone

ACKNOWLEDGMENTS

      All writers know their finished product would not be possible without the assistance of many others. Family time declines – I thank especially my long‐suffering spouse Michael Malone for shopping, cooking, cleaning, and infinite patience. Editors cope with missed deadlines and changes to submitted materials – I thank Wiley Senior Editor Jonathan Rose, Project Editor Aruna Pragasam, and Production Editor Gayathree Sekar. Colleagues at Washington College assist this retired professor with online access to library materials as well as communication and chemistry software. Colleagues in chemistry offer publications and information. Nicholas Farrell contributed publications and information on phosphate clamps as a third mode of DNA binding with polynuclear platinum complexes as well as published materials on the interactions of platinum anticancer complexes with glycans (Section 6.1.5). Yaorong Zheng contributed current publications and information on self‐assembly of platinum(IV) prodrugs and nanoparticle metal organic cage encapsulation of platinum anticancer agents (Sections 5.5.4.2 and 6.1.9.2). Matthew Kieber–Emmons answered questions on computational chemistry (Sections 2.5.3.4 and 2.6). Sincere thanks to those mentioned here and the many unnamed others who contributed their expertise.

BIOGRAPHY

      Rosette M. Roat‐Malone graduated Phi Beta Kappa from the University of Pennsylvania in 1961 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Chemistry. Following years in and out of academia, she received her PhD in Chemistry from the University of Delaware in 1984. She was appointed Professor of Chemistry at Washington College, a primarily undergraduate institution in Chestertown MD, in 1994. Her research in the chemistry of platinum(IV) compounds as anticancer agents led to support from federal and private funding agencies and research appointments at several universities. Since becoming Professor of Chemistry Emerita at Washington College, she has authored bioinorganic texts and encyclopedic entries.
