Copper and Bacteria

In the past two decades, great progress has been made in the understanding of copper as a bioelement. The book summarizes the current knowledge of copper toxicity, homeostasis and resistance in bacteria, in which proteins like copper ATPases, copper chaperones and copper-responsive regulators of gene expression play major roles.

In ultimele doua decenii, s-au facut progrese mari in intelegerea cuprului ca bioelement. Cartea rezuma cunostintele actuale despre toxicitatea cuprului, homeostazia si rezistenta la bacterii, in care proteinele precum ATPaze de cupru, chaperone de cupru si regulatori de expresie a genelor care raspund la cupru joaca un rol major.
