Met Ions Life Sci. 2010:7:165-229. doi: 10.1039/9781847551771-00165. Epub 2010 Jan 30.

Abstract

The widespread distribution of organoarsenic compounds has been reviewed in terms of the five kingdoms of life. Over 50 organoarsenicals are described. Pathways for their formation are discussed and significant data gaps have been identified.
