metalloproteins

Now, in a study led by a researcher at the University of Georgia and just published in the the advance online edition of Nature, a team of scientists has shown through an entirely new method that these so-called metalloproteins are much more diverse and extensive than previously recognized and that it is now possible to determine all the metals in an organism in one fell swoop through a reliable, genome-wide approach.

While considerable progress has been made in designing proteins that mimic the structure of native proteins, the goal of reproducing both the structure and the function of native proteins - especially metal-containing proteins called metalloproteins - has been elusive.
