Heavy metal pollution in soil is a global problem with serious impacts on human health and
ecological security. Phytoextraction in phytoremediation, in which plants uptake and …

The controlled entry and expulsion of small molecules across the bacterial cytoplasmic
membrane is essential for efficient cell growth and cellular homeostasis. While much is …

Zinc is a potent antimicrobial component of the innate immune response at the host-
pathogen interface. Bacteria subvert or resist host zinc insults by metal efflux pathways that …

Divalent d-block metal cations (DDMCs) participate in many cellular functions; however,
their accumulation in cells can be cytotoxic. The cation diffusion facilitator (CDF) family is a …

Paramagnetic (open-shell) systems, including transition metal ions, radical intermediates
and defect centres, are often involved in catalytic transformations. Despite the prevalence of …

Heavy metal pollution is a gradually growing environmental issue that hinders the growth
and development of plants, and also destabilizes soil. Consequently, eco-friendly …

Cation diffusion facilitator (CDF) proteins are a conserved family of divalent transition metal
cation transporters. CDF proteins are usually composed of two domains: the transmembrane …

The emergence of systems biology in the post-genomic era has led to investigating
increasingly complex macromolecular assemblies, emphasising holistic approaches in …

The cation diffusion facilitator (CDF) is a conserved family of divalent d-block metal cation
transporters that extrude these cations selectively from the cytoplasm. CDF proteins are …

Pulse dipolar EPR is an appealing strategy for structural characterisation of complex
systems in solution that complements other biophysical techniques. Significantly, the …
