Calcium
The most abundant mineral in the human body, with ~99% stored in bones and teeth. Calcium's biological significance extends far beyond structural support -- it is the universal second messenger in cell signaling, controlling neurotransmitter release, muscle contraction,…

Copper
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…

Gallium
A group 13 post-transition metal (atomic number 31) with no known biological function in any organism — yet one of the most promising antimicrobial metals precisely because of what it cannot do. Ga3+ is nearly identical to Fe3+ in ionic radius (0.62 Å vs 0.645 Å) and co…

Iron
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…

Nickel
A transition metal occupying a central position in this wiki's evidence base. Nickel is toxic and carcinogenic to humans, yet an essential cofactor for pathogen virulence enzymes. It is the most frequent contact allergen worldwide and drives a wide spectrum of systemic …

Silver
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…
