Synthetic and analytical studies of phytochelations, the metal(loid)-binding peptides of terrestrial plants
This thesis describes research based around phytochelatins (PCs), plant peptides synthesised during the influx of metal(loid)s such as arsenic. Development of synthetic strategies for production of PCs and a bromine-based thiol tag were pursued. The role of PCs in the arsenic translocation system...
