Metallothioneins (MTs) are ubiquitous cysteine‐rich proteins present in plants, animals,
fungi and cyanobacteria. In plants, MTs are suggested to be involved in metal tolerance or …

More than 30 years have passed since the discovery of the first plant metallothionein in
wheat embryos, from which the emergence of a uniquely diverse metallothionein family with …

Combining the high catalytic activity of polyoxometalates (POMs) and the near-infrared (NIR)
photothermal property of gold nanorods (AuNRs), POM-modified AuNR composites were …

The metallothionein (MT) superfamily combines a large variety of small cysteine-rich
proteins from nearly all phyla of life that have the ability to coordinate various transition metal …

Aims Metallothioneins are cysteine-rich, metal-binding proteins, but their exact functions are
not fully understood. In this study, we isolated two metallothionein genes, BcMT1 and BcMT2 …

Metallothioneins (MTs) are low-molecular-mass cysteine-rich proteins with the ability to bind
mono-and divalent metal ions with the electron configuration d 10 in form of metal-thiolate …

Occurrence of metallothioneins (MTs) was initially thought to be restricted to the animal
kingdom, and the corresponding functions such as detoxification of heavy metal ions were …

Metallothioneins (MTs) are members of a family of cysteine-rich low molecular weight
polypeptides which play an important role in heavy metal detoxification and homeostasis of …

Tobacco (Nicotiana tabacum L.) is the most important non-food cash crop worldwide and
has recently been considered a Cd hyperaccumulator. Metallothionein, a small–molecular …

Metallobiomolecules are highly elaborated coordination complexes, and their fundamental
metal–ligand interactions are critical components of metalloprotein folding, assembly …
