Iron Regulation by Ferritin

Abstract

Mossbauer spectroscopy and magnetic moment measurements have been used in conjunction with electrochemical, pH, and optical spectroscopic measurements to study iron deposition and mobilization in mammalian and bacterial ferririn, and to study the structure of the iron containing cores of the proteins. Related aspects of magnetite biomineralization in bacteria were also studied. Keywords: Ferritin, Iron storage, Biomineralization, Magnetite ferrihydrite, Magnetotaxis.
