Gold ions are mobilized and disseminated through the environment and enter into the cells
by non-specific intake. To avoid deleterious effect that occurs even at very low …

Almost all living organisms need to obtain molybdenum from the external medium to achieve
essential processes for life. Activity of important enzymes such as sulfite oxidase, aldehyde …

Metal ions can perform multiple roles ranging from regulatory to structural and are crucial for
cell function. While some metal ions like Na+ are ubiquitously present at high …

Fluorescence resonance energy transfer (FRET) has been used to study the global folding
of an uranyl (UO22+)‐specific 39E DNAzyme in the presence of Mg2+, Zn2+, Pb2+, or …

A broader application of carbon nanodot (CD) gets limited due to its feeble emissivity at the
red end of the emission spectrum. In this work, we have adopted two-pronged strategies to …

Protein targeting is critical in all living organisms and involves a signal recognition particle
(SRP), an SRP receptor, and a translocase. In co-translational targeting, interactions among …

Two paralog transcriptional regulators of the MerR family, CueR and GolS, are responsible
for monovalent metal ion sensing and resistance in Salmonella enterica. Although similar in …

Understanding how cells regulate and transport metal ions is an important goal in the field of
bioinorganic chemistry, a frontier research area that resides at the interface of chemistry and …

Metallochaperones undertake specific interactions with their target proteins to deliver metal
ions inside cells. Understanding how these protein interactions are coupled with the …

Eukaryotic cells utilize copper to power the chemical reactivity of an important group of
enzymes whose activity spans a wide variety of physiological processes. Most important to …
