Inhibition of the Human Thioredoxin System A MOLECULAR MECHANISM OF MERCURY TOXICITY
TL;DR: Overall, mercury inhibition was selective toward the thioredoxin system, and the remarkable potency of the mercury compounds to bind to the selenol-thiol in the active site of TrxR should be a major molecular mechanism of mercury toxicity.
