New Insights into Alterations in PL Proteins Affecting Their Binding to DNA after Exposure of <i>Mytilus galloprovincialis</i> to Mercury—A Possible Risk to Sperm Chromatin Structure?

Mercury (Hg) is a highly toxic and widespread pollutant. We previously reported that the exposure of <i>Mytilus galloprovincialis</i> for 24 h to doses of HgCl<sub>2</sub> similar to those found in seawater (range 1–100 pM) produced alterations in the properties of protamine-...
