Metallothionein: Molecular evolution and classification
Abstract
The nomenclature system for metallothionein was first adopted in 1978 [1] and extended in 1985 by introducing a subdivision of MTs into three classes [2]. According to this convention class I includes all proteinaceous MTs with locations of Cys closely related to those in the mammalian forms. Class II comprises proteinaceous MTs which lack this property. Class III subsumes metallopolyisopeptides containing gammaglutamyl-cysteinyl units resembling in their features proteinaceous MTs.

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.
