Abstract

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 arrangement of “soft” metal ions in complexes with cysteine side chains to form discrete metal-thiolate clusters. In this review an account is given of the chemical characteristics of the 52 metallothioneins whose primary structures are now known completely or in part. Also included is an up-to-date summary of the spectroscopic properties and of the spatial structure models derived from X-ray diffraction crystallographic analysis and from two-dimensional nuclear magnetic resonance spectroscopy. These keywords were added by machine and not by the authors. This process is experimental and the keywords may be updated as the learning algorithm improves.

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
