| ligand |
An organic molecule that donates the necessary electrons to form coordinate covalent bonds with metallic ions. When this occurs in food particles the ligand deposits its charged metallic ion/s at the appropriate receptor site in the gastrointestinal tract, and then because of its charge picks up some other metal ion, usually one of the heavy metals that are toxic. It then continues on through the gastrointestinal tract until it is excreted.
