The molecular form of mercury in biota: identification of novel mercury peptide complexes in plants.
The molecular structure of a variety of novel mercury-phytochelatin complexes was evidenced in rice plants exposed to inorganic mercury (Hg2+) using RP-HPLC with simultaneous detection via ICP-MS and ES-MS.
