An essential trace element with a striking dual nature: required for survival as a cofactor for critical enzymes (SOD1, cytochrome c oxidase, ceruloplasmin), yet toxic in excess through Fenton-like redox cycling and mis metallation of iron-sulfur clusters. Copper is ele…
The most abundant transition metal in the human body and arguably the most consequential metal in biology. Iron sits at the center of a paradox that drives pathology across virtually every disease domain: organisms need it for oxygen transport, energy metabolism, DNA sy…
A non-essential metal with a 5,000-year history of antimicrobial use, silver has re-emerged as a critical tool in the post-antibiotic era. What makes silver particularly interesting from a metallomics perspective is not that it kills bacteria -- many metals do -- but ho…
