ChemInform Abstract
The results show that Hg(II) quantitatively displaces Cd(II) from the protein. In this protein Hg(II) adopts both a tetrahedral and a linear coordination geometry. It is also indicated that a facile interchange reaction of Cd(II) and Hg(II) upon mixing the all Cd(II) and all Hg(II) forms of metallothionein result in a stable mixed-metal species.
