The functions, purposes, and roles of metallothioneins have been the subject of
speculations since the discovery of the protein over 60 years ago. This article guides …

Zinc (II) ions are redox-inert in biology. Yet, their interaction with sulfur of cysteine in cellular
proteins can confer ligand-centered redox activity on zinc coordination sites, control protein …

Aqueous zinc‐ion batteries hold attractive potential for large‐scale energy storage devices
owing to their prominent electrochemical performance and high security. Nevertheless, the …

Abstract Guanine-quadruplexes (G4s) are non-canonical four-stranded structures that can
be formed in guanine (G) rich nucleic acid sequences. A great number of G-rich sequences …

CRISPR–CasΦ, a small RNA-guided enzyme found uniquely in bacteriophages, achieves
programmable DNA cutting as well as genome editing. To investigate how the …

Genomes 5 has been completely revised and updated. It is a thoroughly modern textbook
about genomes and how they are investigated. As with previous Genomes editions …

Zn2+ ions are essential in many physiological processes, including enzyme catalysis,
protein structural stabilization, and the regulation of many proteins. The affinities of proteins …

In recent years, research on ions and ionic interactions in solution has become a leading
scientific direction, and this advance has been especially pronounced in the field of ionic …

Members of Apicomplexa are defined by apical cytoskeletal structures and secretory
