Bismuth Binding in Human Metallothionein

Bismuth metal is one of the least toxic heavy metals for humans. It is used in a wide variety of applications including organic synthesis, cosmetics and pharmaceutical applications. In biomedicine, bismuth is a therapeutic metal used in metallodrugs such as Pepto Bismol for its antimicrobial and antibacterial properties. Metallothionein (MT) is a cysteine rich protein found in the liver, kidneys, brain and central nervous system. MT can bind a variety of metals including essential metals such as zinc and copper. This research investigates the binding pathway of Bi[EDTA]- with fully metallated Zn7MT by using mass-spectrometry and UV-vis absorption

Early English Poetic Culture and Meter: The Influence of G. R. Russom

This volume develops G. R. Russom\u27s contributions to early English meter and style, including his fundamental reworkings and rethinkings of accepted and oft-repeated mantras, including his word-foot theory, concern for the late medieval context for alliterative meter, and the linguistics of punctuation and translation as applied to Old English texts. Ten eminent scholars from across the field take up Russom\u27s ideas to lead readers in new and exciting directions.https://scholarworks.wmich.edu/mip_fopl/1003/thumbnail.jp
