## Abstract Metalloproteins represent βΌ30% of all proteins known, yet our understanding of the structures of these metalloproteins, the metal content, and the mechanism for metalation are still very limited. One of the most studied metalloproteins is the ubiquitous metallothionein (MT), which in ma

Since the discovery of metallothionein in 1957, it has been accepted that the primary roles of this protein are: 1) detoxification of heavy metals, and 2) regulation of the metabolism of essential metals. Recently, studies have suggested an additional role for metallothionein as a free radical scave
