reactive heavy metal ions in the environment and to utilize some of them as key constituents …

The main mechanisms involved in heavy metal cation homeostasis in marine invertebrate
cells are described. 2. Metallothioneins are probably the most important soluble compounds …

Heavy metals (HM) are a unique class of toxicants since they cannot be broken down to non-
toxic forms. Concentration of these heavy metals has increased drastically, posing problems …

This well-presented book describes metal-microbe interactions from a chemical and
microbiological perspective... The authors are to be commended for tackling this huge field …

Mammalian metallothionein has been postulated to play a pivotal role in cellular zinc
distribution. All seven of its metal atoms are bound with high thermodynamic stability in two …

The review discusses some of the important aspects of the molecular biology of metal
tolerances in animals, fungi and plants. First, results of classical ecological and genetical …

The biological function of metallothionein (MT) is still a matter of considerable conjecture.
Convincing evidence has accrued that the protein can play an important role in the …

Metallothioneins (MTs) are a family of small proteins having a molecular weight from 6 to 10
kDa. They are found throughout the animal kingdom, in plants, and in certain eukaryotic and …
