From Proteopedia
Crystal structure of the C558(464)A/C559(465)A double mutant of Tn501 MerA in complex with NADPH and Hg2+
Function
[MERA_PSEAI] Resistance to Hg(2+) in bacteria appears to be governed by a specialized system which includes mercuric reductase. MerA protein is responsible for volatilizing mercury as Hg(0).
