Zinc is an essential nutrient for all living organisms and a deficiency may result in major health problems. This project provides insights into how zinc is processed by cells within the human body. The experiments also contribute to a better understanding of the molecular basis of zinc deficiency disorders. Novel procedures developed in this project may prove invaluable to the wider scientific community
