Molecular and Biochemical Analysis of the Histidine Kinase CusS and its Role in Metal Resistance in Escherichia coli
… of the Cus system in response to copper and silver ions. Copper is an essential cofactor required in many enzymatic processes. But its redox properties can lead to toxicity. Silver is chemically similar to copper, but is not bioactive and its presence in cells can lead to extreme …
