Cisplatin is one biological example of how coordination compounds are relevant. But I believe we should also know the biological functions of Cr, Fe, Co, Mn, Ni, Cu, Zn. The outline for this unit mentions knowing that Co functions in vitamin B12 specifically.

Yes, cisplatin is the main compound. I believe we're supposed to know how it functions through its structure as well as possibly knowing how to draw it.

What is the biological function of vitamin B12?
