Abstract excerpt
Bacterioferritins are members of a class of spherical shell-like iron storage proteins that catalyze the oxidation and hydrolysis of iron at specific sites inside the protein shell, resulting in formation of a mineral core of hydrated ferric oxide within the protein cavity. Electrode oximetry/pH stat was used to study iron oxidation and hydrolysis chemistry in E. coli bacterioferritin. Consistent with previous...
