Evolution of metal ions in biological systems : ウィキペディア英語版 | Evolution of metal ions in biological systems Evolution of Metal Ions in Biological Systems refers to the incorporation of metallic ions into living organisms and how it has changed over time. Metal ions have been associated with biological systems for billions of years, but only in the last century have scientists began to truly appreciate the scale of their influence. Major (iron, manganese, magnesium and zinc) and minor (copper, cobalt, nickel, molybdenum, tungsten) metal ions have symbiotically aligned with living organisms and the associated complexes have evolved over time. ==Origins==
The Great Oxygenation Event occurred approximately 2.4 Ga (billion years ago) as cyanobacteria induced the presence of dioxygen in earth’s atmosphere. Biological oxidation leading to oxidative stress and cell damage in animals represents one of these types of reactions which are responsible for many animal diseases. Incorporation of metals perhaps combated this. The central chemistry of all these cells has to be reductive in order that the synthesis of the required chemicals, especially biopolymers, is possible. The different anaerobic, autocatalysed, reductive, metabolic pathways seen in the earliest cells we know about developed in separate energised vesicles, protocells, where they were produced cooperatively with certain bases of the nucleic acids.〔 〕
