Description:
This template traces heavy metal detoxification in a plant cell, showing glutamate and cysteine combining via gamma-ECS and GS enzymes to form glutathione, which binds heavy metals or is converted to phytochelatin by glutathione S-transferase. These heavy metal complexes are then transported into the vacuole, while sulphate assimilation regenerates cysteine for the cycle.
