COMPLEX ASSOCIATIONS AS AN INTEGRAL PART OF OUR LIFE

Abstract

In recent years, with the rapid development of technology, many methods have been defined for the investigation of compounds important for the life activity of living organisms and the study of their functions. It is known that the main part of vitally important compounds in living organisms is complex compounds. As the name suggests, the substances contained in complex compounds (metals, ligands, ions, etc.), the charge of these compounds, the arrangement of metal and various types of substances in the compound, that is, the investigation of their coordination to each other, constitute a separate field in chemistry. In this sense, these data, investigated under the name of coordination chemistry, occupy an important place in chemistry. 

The study of living organisms, especially the human body, shows that many chemical reactions are necessary for the survival of the organism. Most of these reactions are carried out with the participation of enzymes (biocatalysts), which are complex compounds. Biocatalysts speed up chemical reactions in the body a thousand times. For example, Fe⁺² When the charged ion forms a complex connection with albumin or protein, its biological activity is 10¹⁰ times, B containing Co metal₁₂ activity of vitamin 10⁵ times, Cu complexes inhibit hydrogen peroxide free radical decomposition reactions in the body 10⁶ speeds up times.
