From methodological limitations to the function of metallothioneins - a guide to approaches for determining weak, moderate, and tight affinity zinc sites

Mammalian metallothioneins (MTs) are small cysteine-rich proteins whose primary role is participation in zinc and copper homeostasis. Ever since their discovery, MTs have been investigated in terms of metal-binding affinity. The initial concept of seven Zn(II) ions (Zn(7)MT) bound with the same, und...
