Esta investigación tiene como objetivo identificarla presencia de las Actinas, Miosinas y Metalotioneínas en un extracto total de proteínas de la planta Arabidopsis thaliana. Las Actinas son proteínas globulares relacionadas a la motilidad, morfología y contracción celular. Por otro lado, las Metalotioneínas(MT’s) tienen la capacidad de unirse a metales pesados y han servido como biomarcadores específicos para la exposición de metales.
