Amino Acid Features of PIB-ATPase Heavy Metal Transporters Enabling small Numbers of Organisms to Cope with Heavy Metal Pollution
Phytoremediation refers to the use of plants for extraction and detoxification of pollutants, providing a new and powerful weapon against a polluted environment. In some plants, such as Thlaspi spp, heavy metal ATPases are involved in overall metal ion homeostasis and hyperaccumulation. P1B-ATPases...
