Nitrogen-doped carbon quantum dots: facile synthesis and application as a "turn-off" fluorescent probe for detection of Hg2+ ions. (2014, background): “The exposure to mercury can cause a number of toxicological effects such as brain damage, kidney failure, and various cognitive and motion disorders (Harris et al., 2003).”
Total mercury and methylmercury levels in commercially important fishes in Japan (2005, background): “Recently, Harris et al.21 showed covalent binding of methylmercury to cysteine residues in the fish muscle by X-ray absorption spectroscopy.”
Selenium and Mercury Interactions with Emphasis on Fish Tissue (2009, background): “If these fish themselves are protected from Hg toxicity by the Se, it seems reasonable to assume that consumers of the fish most likely will not suffer MeHg toxicity effects from eating these fish ( Harris et al. 2003 ; Cabanero et al.”
The Toxicology of Mercury and Its Chemical Compounds (2006, background): “Inorganic mercury and methylmercury complexes with reduced glutathione (Ballatori and Clarkson, 1985) have been identified in bile in animal experiments and a methylmercury–cysteine complex in fish protein (Harris et al., 2003).”
