P.932 left column bottom paragraph: "Free metal ions in the cytoplasm? Copper is one of the more toxic of the essential metals, so the proposal that the cellular Cu budget (in Saccharomyces cerevisiae, corresponding to 5.2×10^5 atoms per cell) operates on a “no free metal” principle (primary source), employing metal ion chaperone proteins to allocate Cu to some targets, appeals to common sense."
