Metric Options: CountsSelecting the 1-year or 3-year option will change the metrics count to percentiles, illustrating how an article or review compares to other articles or reviews within the selected time period in the same journal. Selecting the 1-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year. Selecting the 3-year option compares the metrics against other articles/reviews that were also published in the same calendar year plus the two years prior.
Example: if you select the 1-year option for an article published in 2019 and a metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019. If you select the 3-year option for the same article published in 2019 and the metric category shows 90%, that means that the article or review is performing better than 90% of the other articles/reviews published in that journal in 2019, 2018 and 2017.

Article Description
Data on the metal-binding behaviour of circa 20 recombinant metallothioneins (MTs) from evolutionary divergent organisms, gathered after years of systematic research, are here comprehensively analyzed. The consideration of four independent in vivo and in vitro metal-binding features reveals a gradation of the metal-binding character of the MTs considered that significantly coincides in a robust new classification: a stepwise gradation between Zn- and Cu-thioneins. The intermediate positions in this list are occupied by a group of polyvalent MTs, exhibiting a merging Zn-/Cu-thionein character that would suit general metal handling purposes. In contrast, the extreme positions are respectively occupied by those MTs that would have evolved to fulfil specialized Zn- or Cu-related physiological roles. Overall, the analyzed trends allow the proposal of a chemically- and biologically-sound new reflection on MT classification criteria. © 2009 The Royal Society of Chemistry.
