More Effective Mobilization of Hg(2+) from Human Serum Albumin Compared to Cd(2+) by L-Cysteine at Near-Physiological Conditions

Although chronic low-level exposure to Hg(2+) and Cd(2+) causes human nephrotoxicity, the bioinorganic processes that deliver them to their target organs are poorly understood. Since the plasma protein human serum albumin (HSA) has distinct binding sites for these metal ions, we wanted to gain insig...
