Abstract

Exposure of several species of the order Fabales to Cd 2+ results in the formation of metal chelating peptides of the general structure (γ‐Glu‐Cys) n ‐β‐Ala (n = 2–7). They are assumed to be formed from homo‐glutathione and are termed homo‐phytochelatins, as they are homologous to the recently discovered phytochelatins. These peptides are induced by a number of metals such as Cd 2+, Zn 2+, Hg 2+, Pb 2+, AsO 4 − and others. They are assumed to detoxify poisonous heavy metals and to be involved in metal homeostasis.

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.
