Milk is a mammalian characteristic and is of particular importance for humans: Mother's milk
or its substitutes from cows' milk are absolutely essential nutriments for the neonate and …

The transferrin family spans both vertebrates and invertebrates. It includes serum transferrin,
ovotransferrin, lactoferrin, melanotransferrin, inhibitor of carbonic anhydrase, saxiphilin, the …

Although the antimicrobial activity of lactoferrin has been well described, its mechanism of
action has been poorly characterized. Recent work has indicated that in addition to binding …

We show that the time-dependent biomineralization of Au3+ by native lactoferrin (NLf) and
bovine serum albumin (BSA) resulting in near-infrared (NIR) luminescent gold quantum …

Publisher Summary This chapter provides an overview of structure and reactivity of
transferrins. The transferrins are a family of metal-binding proteins having significant role in …

Chemical cross-links identified by mass spectrometry generate distance restraints that
reveal low-resolution structural information on proteins and protein complexes. The …

Lactoferrin (LF), an iron-binding glycoprotein present in milk and other endocrine and
exocrine secretions, may exert a number of physiologic effects in the intestines. To study the …

Lactoferrin is an iron-binding protein found in human mucosal secretions as well as the
specific granules of polymorphonuclear leukocytes. A variety of functions have been …

Lactoferrin is an iron transport protein. Upon binding iron, the two domains in the N-terminal
half of the molecule move together. Previous work has shown that this domain closure …

The binding to human lactoferrin of three Ru (III) complexes with anti-tumor activity has been
investigated by X-ray crystallography in order to gain insights into how such complexes …
