Mercury is the most toxic heavy metal with no known biological function. Its organic form -- methylmercury (MeHg) -- is the primary concern for dietary exposure via fish consumption. Mercury's toxicity centers on thiol group binding, glutathione depletion, and blood-bra…
An essential trace element that is primarily protective in its biological roles. Unlike most metals in this wiki, selenium's toxicological significance lies more in the consequences of its deficiency than its excess. Selenium is the backbone of the selenoproteome -- a f…
