Abstract excerpt
There are extensive structural similarities between eukaryotic and prokaryotic ferritins. However, there is one essential difference between these two types of ferritins: bacterioferritins contain haem whereas eukaryotic ferritins are considered to be non-haem proteins. In vitro experiments had shown that horse spleen apoferritin or recombinant horse L chain apoferritins, when co-crystallised with haemin,...
