A wealth of chemical, spectroscopic and structural data attest to the uniqueness of the
metallothioneins as a group of novel bioinorganic structures. Their earmarking feature is the …

Metallothioneins (MTs) are a group of cysteine-rich, universal, low molecular weight proteins
distributed widely in almost all major taxonomic groups ranging from tiny microbes to highly …

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 …

A variety of Cu reconstituted metallothioneins (MTs) containing different amounts of copper
ions together with Cd 7-MT free of copper were prepared and used in spin trapping …

The presence of copper-binding proteins produced in response to added copper was
examined in isolates of Laccaria laccata (Scop. ex Fr.) Cooke and Paxillus involutus (Batsch …

Metallothioneins (MTs) are well‐characterized low molecular weight, heat‐stable cytosolic
proteins with exceptional high content of cysteinyl sulfur and are known to bind heavy metals …
