Metal Ions in Life Sciences, Volume 5: Metallothionein and Related Chelators

摘要

The series of volumes edited by the Sigels, originally Metal Ions in Biological Systems and now Metal Ions in Life Sciences, has provided useful thematic collections of articles for 36 years. The latest, however, is only the second of these 50 volumes devoted primarily to a single protein-it is no surprise that the first was cytochrome P-450. Since its discovery over 60 years ago, metallothionein (MT) has been studied extensively and has been the subject of previous books, several from international meetings on this small Cys-rich metal-sequestering protein, although none in the past decade.
