Abstract in brief

  • Heavy metals can enter the human body through eating, skin contact, or breathing, and they pose health risks by damaging cell membranes, DNA, and disrupting protein and enzyme functions.
  • These metals interfere with natural protein activities by binding to specific sites, causing oxidation, altering protein structure, or replacing essential metals in enzymes, leading to various health problems.
  • The review discusses the harmful effects of toxic metals on biological molecules, how they interact with proteins and enzymes, and some methods to detoxify these metals due to environmental contamination concerns.]
