Roles of the Chemical Elements in Facilitating Life on Earth

Authors: Philip Gibbs
Comments: 15 Pages.

Many of the elements in the periodic table play a part in supporting life, either directly in biochemistry or indirectly in some supporting role. This is a catalogue of how each element is used, updated to reflect recent discoveries in marine biology, microbial metabolism, and structural biochemistry. This paper is a substantial revision and update of an earlier review.
