Metal-Specificity Divergence between Metallothioneins of <i>Nerita peloronta</i> (Neritimorpha, Gastropoda) Sets the Starting Point for a Novel Chemical MT Classification Proposal

Metal-Specificity Divergence between Metallothioneins of <i>Nerita peloronta</i> (Neritimorpha, Gastropoda) Sets the Starting Point for a Novel Chemical MT Classification Proposal

Metallothioneins’ (MTs) biological function has been a matter of debate since their discovery. The importance to categorize these cysteine-rich proteins with high coordinating capacity into a specific group led to numerous classification proposals. We proposed a classification based on their metal-b...
