The essential physiological role of zinc mainly depends on its widespread association with many different proteins, whose number can be estimated by bioinformatics approaches. The zinc proteome represents about 9% of the entire proteome in eukaryotes, but it ranges from 5% to 6% in prokaryotes, therefore indicating a substantial increase of the number of zinc proteins in higher organisms.

Abstract
The essential physiological role of zinc mainly depends on its widespread association with many different proteins, whose number can be estimated by bioinformatics approaches. The zinc proteome represents about 9% of the entire proteome in eukaryotes, but it ranges from 5% to 6% in prokaryotes, therefore indicating a substantial increase of the number of zinc proteins in higher organisms.
