These proteins provide an important focus for research, some being involved in bacterial resistance to toxic metals, such as lead and cadmium, while others are involved in inherited human syndromes, such as Wilson's and Menke's diseases.[1]The HMA domain, contains two conserved cysteines that are probably involved in metal binding. The fourth HMA domain of the Menke's copper transporting ATPase shows a well-defined structure comprising a four-stranded antiparallel beta-sheet and two alpha helices packed in an alpha-beta sandwich fold.[2] This fold is common to other domains and is classified as "ferredoxin-like".
