Metallomics is an interdisciplinary area that has grown in recent years thanks to the development and application of techniques such as electrophoresis, chromatography, and spectrometry. Advances in this area, have allowed studies of functional and structural characterization of proteins linked to metals in different organisms and tissues, and thus, led to the understanding of the complex processes involving metalloproteins, and with this, their application for the realization of environmental monitoring studies. In this article, a review of the main metallomic techniques and their applications in environmental studies was carried out from 2008 to 2018, based on the search for scientific articles in the "Scopus" database. A metalômica é uma área interdisciplinar que tem crescido nos últimos anos, em virtude ao desenvolvimento e aplicação de técnicas como eletroforese, cromatografia e espectrometria. Avanços nessa área, têm permitido estudos de caracterização funcional e estrutural de proteínas ligadas a metais em diferentes organismos e tecidos, e desta forma, levado à compreensão, dos complexos processos que envolvem as metaloproteínas, e com isto, garantido sua aplicação para a realização de estudos de monitoramento ambiental. No presente artigo, foi realizada uma revisão das principais técnicas metalômicas e de suas aplicações em estudos ambientais no período de 2008 a 2018, a partir da busca de artigos científicos na base de dados "Scopus".
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
