About this title

Synopsis

Metallothioneins Synthesis, Structure and Properties of Metallothioneins, Phytochelatins and Metal-Thiolate Complexes Edited Martin J. Stillman C. Frank Shaw III Kazuo T. Suzuki Metallothionein presents a detailed review of current research on the isolation, structure and reactivity of the metallothionein and metallothionein-like peptides. An international team of experts covers all aspects of the metal binding process, including mechanisms of the formation of the metal-thiolate clusters, the relationship of structure to reactivity and the relationship between general metal binding properties and physiological roles. Especially important are updates on work on inorganic compounds that potentially model the metal sites in metallothionein. The book also includes extensive tables of model compounds and is the first monograph to publish color images of MT.
