Deciphering the Enigmatic Function of Pseudomonas Metallothioneins
Metallothioneins (MTs) are low molecular weight, Cys-rich proteins that sequester both essential and non-essential metal ions. Despite being highly conserved in the Pseudomonas genus of Gram-negative bacteria, knowledge of their physiological function in this species is scarce. Using the strain P. f...
