Cadmium, molecular volume

Metallothionein Small molecular weight protein family, rich in cysteine, that binds strongly to divalent heavy metals. The synthesis is under the control of essential metals like zinc and copper. Other metals such as cadmium, mercury and silver can induce its concentration in cells. Volume 1(14). 

Determination of Molecular Weight Distribution. A 1.6- X 95-cm column of Sepharose C1-4B in 50% tris(ethylenediamine)cadmium dihydroxide (1 1 with water) was prepared and equilibrated by elution with six column volumes of 50% tris(ethylenediamine)cadmium dihydroxide. Downward flow with a pressure head of 125 cm was used.
