Inhibition of Zn(II) binding type IA topoisomerases by organomercury compounds and Hg(II). [PDF]
PLoS One, 2015 Type IA topoisomerase activities are essential for resolving DNA topological barriers via an enzyme-mediated transient single strand DNA break. Accumulation of topoisomerase DNA cleavage product can lead to cell death or genomic rearrangement.

New insights into the metabolism of organomercury compounds: mercury-containing cysteine S-conjugates are substrates of human glutamine transaminase K and potent inactivators of cystathionine γ-lyase. [PDF]
Arch Biochem Biophys, 2012 Anthropogenic practices and recycling in the environment through natural processes result in release of potentially harmful levels of mercury into the biosphere. Mercury, especially organic forms, accumulates in the food chain.

Astatine-211-Towards In Vivo Stable Astatine-211 Labeled Radiopharmaceuticals and Their (Pre)Clinical Applications. [PDF]
Med Res RevABSTRACT Targeted radioligand therapy has emerged as a promising treatment option for eradicating advanced cancer forms. α‐Emitters are considered particularly promising as they can obliterate (micro)‐metastases. The α‐emitter astatine‐211 (211At) has experienced increased interest due to its favorable decay properties.
