Ivano Bertini (1940–2012), Biological Inorganic Chemistry Pioneer, An Obituary-Tribute

Abstract

After a four-month battle with lung cancer, Ivano Bertini, Professor of Chemistry and the founder and soul of the Magnetic Resonance Center (CERM) at the Università degli Studi di Firenze, Florence, Italy, where he was scientifically active until the end, died on July 7, 2012. A globally recognized pioneer in the field of biological inorganic chemistry, which he greatly enriched by developing powerful new NMR methods to study paramagnetic metalloproteins, he was immensely interested in the role of inorganic chemistry in biology. His influential 2007 book, Biological Inorganic Chemistry, introduced many young persons to the field. This article, co-authored with his closest collaborators, reviews his life, career, contributions, honors, and legacy.
