This book is a compilation of presentations at the first meeting devoted to the mo- lecular and cellular biology of copper transport. When we first considered the possible program for the meeting, we felt that a forum to integrate the recent advances in molecular understanding of copper transport with the older knowledge of copper metabolism was needed. In addition we wished to have a strong emphasis on the diseases of copper includ- ing the genetic diseases, Menkes and Wilson, and other possible health aspects of this met- al seen from a molecular perspective. Overall we were very happy with...
