“…In most cases, a receptor or carrier protein must convey information to the cell interior to indicate that binding has taken place, resulting in the initiation of a number of processes including: catalysis, signal and energy transduction, cross-membrane transport and cellular defence mechanisms [114]. Because microorganisms do not have specific transport systems for the vast majority of compounds that are internalised by the cell, most compounds must borrow existing pathways designed for the essential elements: transport through ion channels, carrier-mediated transport, active transport and endocytosis [24,242]. In addition, passive diffusion through the cell membrane (hydrophobic compounds, e.g.…”

“…In contrast, soft metals are often toxic, due to their ability to replace transition metals in biological structures. These and other biological mechanisms of the internalisation process have been discussed in much greater detail in Chapters 6 and 7 of this volume [24,245] and elsewhere (e.g. [242,246,247]).…”
