In vivo inhibition of grey partridge (Perdrix Perdrix) creatine-kinase by methoxy ethyl mercury silicate.
In grey partridge, methoxy-ethyl-mercury is a potent reversible inhibitor of muscular creatine-kinase. This effect is probably the result of a fixation of mercury by the thiol groups of the enzyme molecule.
