Marine Invertebrates as Bioindicators of Heavy Metal Pollution (2015, background): “These elements affect cells and living organisms in various ways; some heavy metals have essential functions and are toxic only in an overdose, whereas others are xenobiotic and highly toxic [2] [3].”
The Genetic Basis of Metal Hyperaccumulation in Plants (2002, background): “…stability constants for complexation with ligands containing oxygen-, nitrogen-, and sulfur-donor centers, in that order of increasing stability (Fraústo da Silva and Williams, 1991), but identifying which ligands are coordinated with particular metals in different compartments within the cell…”
Selenium in cancer prevention: a review of the evidence and mechanism of action (2005, background): “Its unique redox chemistry has been exploited by biological systems since the advent of dioxygen in the earth’s environment created a requirement for a two-electron detoxification system for dealing with peroxides (Frausto da Silva & Williams, 2001).”
Copper in diseases and treatments, and copper‐based anticancer strategies (2009, background): “pathways can be toxic to the organism, copper complexes may serve as effective cytotoxic agents.(31) Copper active compounds are likely to have mechanism of actions, biodistribution, and toxicity, which are different from those of currently used platinum drugs, and might be effective, at least in pr”
Paradigm shift in plant growth control. (2015, background): “Basic stoichiometric laws do not permit significant departures from element ratios, specific for certain tissue types and plant species [21–25] and these constraints even include C incorporation in soil humus (e.”
Environmental Metal Pollution Considered as Noise: Effects on the Spatial Distribution of Benthic Foraminifera in two coastal Marine Areas of Sicily (Southern Italy) (2008, background): “CrIII is not a toxic agent for the biological species considered, since it is present in the cellular structure of benthic foraminifera (Frausto da Silva and Williams, 2001).”
Silicate complexes of aluminum(III) in aqueous systems (2001, background): “Thus it is that silicon must be regarded as a biologically essential element [70–74,81].”
Metallophores and Trace Metal Biogeochemistry (2015, background): “…and Manganese Biogeochemical Cycling A discussion of manganese interactions with biogenic ligands should be prefaced by noting that metallophore-mediated uptake of Mn has not been demonstrated, despite the importance of Mn in many redox enzymes (Armstrong 2008; Fraústo da Silva and Williams 2001).”
