identity and quantity of heteroatom-containing biomolecules are critically discussed …

Increasingly, anthropogenic perturbations of the biosphere manifest in a broad array of
global phenomena, causing widespread contamination of most ecosystems, with high …

Metallothioneins (MTs) are a particular type of small metalloprotein that possess a significant
amount of Cys residues, which confer upon them an extraordinary capacity for heavy metal …

Metallothioneins (MTs) are a group of cysteine-rich, universal, low molecular weight proteins
distributed widely in almost all major taxonomic groups ranging from tiny microbes to highly …

A considerable momentum has recently been gained by in vitro and in vivo studies of
interactions of trace elements in biomolecules due to advances in inductively coupled …

The element chemistry of biogenic carbonates can provide important data on past
environments. However, the Sr/Ca and Mg/Ca ratios as well as the Mg and Sr …

Monitoring environmental pollution using biomarkers requires detailed knowledge about the
