Enhanced cadmium binding ability in response to novel modifications in a Paramecium cadmium metallothionein PMCd1.

Enhanced cadmium binding ability in response to novel modifications in a Paramecium cadmium metallothionein PMCd1.

Metallothioneins (MTs) are low molecular weight cysteine rich proteins involved in detoxification of heavy metals. They are synthesized in response to metal exposure and can bind to various metals, thus reducing their toxicity and providing protection against oxidative stress. MTs are considered to...
