Characterization of Drosophila Ctr1a: New Roles for Ctr1 Proteins and Copper in Physiology and Cell Signaling Pathways
(2008-10-21)Copper is an essential trace element required by all aerobic organisms as a co-factor for enzymes involved in normal growth, development and physiology. Ctr1 proteins are members of a highly conserved family of copper importers ... -
Characterization of Metal Binding Peptides Derived from Copper Trafficking Proteins
(2010)Copper was first released into the environment as the result of the mass generation of oxygen from photosynthetic bacteria roughly 2.7 billion years ago. While it proved to be poisonous to early life on Earth, those that ...
