Ferritin is a protein that stores and releases iron to prevent diseases associated with iron
dysregulation in plants, animals, and bacteria. The conversion between iron-loaded holo …

Iron is an essential micronutrient, and, in the case of bacteria, its availability is commonly a
growth-limiting factor. However, correct functioning of cells requires that the labile pool of …

Cellular growth, function, and protection require proper iron management, and ferritin plays
a crucial role as the major iron sequestration and storage protein. Ferritin is a 24 subunit …

Nanozymes are a class of nanomaterials with enzyme-like activities and have attracted
increasing attention due to their potential applications in biomedicine. However, nanozyme …

Ferritins are a superfamily of iron oxidation, storage and mineralization proteins found
throughout the animal, plant, and microbial kingdoms. The majority of ferritins consist of 24 …

Protein scaffolds provide unique metal coordination environments that promote
biomineralization processes. It is expected that protein scaffolds can be developed to …

Ferritins, the cellular iron repositories, are self-assembled, hollow spherical nanocage
proteins composed of 24 subunits. The self-assembly process in ferritin generates the …
