Abstract
Microbes have naturally evolved to deal with heavy metal toxicity resulting in elaborate heavy metal resistance mechanisms. Bacterial mercury resistance is mediated by the mer operon. It encodes specific genes that facilitate removal of toxic mercury species from the cell. Here, we apply experimental biophysics and high performance computer simulation to investigate molecular mechanisms of bacterial resistance to mercury.
