Figure 1 Metallothionein protein molecule. Figure shows three zinc atoms, and one copper atom bound to yellow cysteine residues which connect to blue histidine molecules. Selenium, represented by red, plays a key role in reducing oxidative stress from the heavy metals that bind with and are transported through the excretion process by metallothionein proteins. MT: Metallothionein; Zn: Zinc; Cu: Copper; Se: Selenium.
