In the Wishverse, many of the good characters have been turned bad or are dead.

2020, "Electrochemical detection of silver ions by using sulfur quantum dots modified gold electrode", L Fu, A Wang, K Xie, J Zhu, F Chen, H Wang, et al., Sensors and Actuators B: Chemical, Elsevier
The principle is that silver ion can inhibit the activity of free mercapto protease and thus inhibit its biological function [[4], [5], [6]].

Considering that papain is a mercapto protease enzyme, and sulfydryl groups of papain are deemed to show a strong affinity for Au and Ag (as was the case for BSA).
