Mechanistic pathways of mercury removal from the organomercurial lyase active site

Bacterial populations present in Hg-rich environments have evolved biological mechanisms to detoxify methylmercury and other organometallic mercury compounds. The most common resistance mechanism relies on the H(+)-assisted cleavage of the Hg–C bond of methylmercury by the organomercurial lyase MerB...
