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…
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…
