Interaction of HMs with the functional SH-groups was generally proposed as the mechanism for several inhibitory reactions. It has been suggested that the Calvin cycle reactions are more likely to be the primary targets of the toxic effects of HMs. Subsequently, the reduced demand for ATP and NADPH upon the Calvin cycle causes a down-regulation of both PSII photochemistry and of linear el-transport.
