Metalloprotein

Metalloprotein is a generic term for a protein that contains a metal ion cofactor.^[1]^[2] A large proportion of all proteins are part of this category. For instance, at least 1000 human proteins (out of ~20,000) contain zinc-binding protein domains^[3] although there may be up to 3000 human zinc metalloproteins.^[4]
