An EXAFS study of the zinc sites in sheep liver metallothionein.
Measurement and interpretation of the EXAFS associated with the K-absorption edge of zinc atoms in sheep liver metallothionein indicate that the primary coordination shell of each of these metal atoms comprises four sulphur atoms, with the Zn-S distance being 2.29 +/- 0.02 A.
