According to this convention class I includes all proteinaceous MTs with locations of Cys closely related to those in the mammalian forms. Class II comprises proteinaceous MTs which lack this property. Class III subsumes metallopolyisopeptides containing gammaglutamyl-cysteinyl units resembling in their features proteinaceous MTs.Read More
