Lanthanides in biology
Hi all,
I've posted once or twice about lanthanide-containing enzymes in biology. So far they haven't come up in our assays: there aren't any known cases in mammals, and very little CyTOF work has been done (so far) on bacteria, etc.
Just in case anyone is interested in reading more, though, here's a recent minireview (and references therein):
