Soft-metal(loid)s induce protein aggregation in <i>Escherichia coli</i>

2023-08-21

Abstract excerpt

Metal(loid) salts have been used to treat infectious diseases due to their exceptional biocidal properties at low concentrations. However, the mechanism of their toxicity has yet to be fully elucidated. The production of reactive oxygen species (ROS) has been linked to the toxicity of soft metal(loid)s such as Ag(I), Au(III), As(III), Cd(II), Hg(II), and Te(IV). Nevertheless, few reports have described the direct,...
