metallothionein 1

Structure: - class 1 metallothioneins contain 2 metal-binding domains: a) 4 divalent ions are chelated within cluster A of the alpha domain & are coordinated via cysteinyl thiolate bridges to 11 Cys ligands b) cluster B, the corresponding region within the beta domain, can ligate 3 divalent ions to 9 Cys
