Abstract

The anaerobic binding of Fe²⁺ to apo and holo Mammalian ferritin has been studied in the pH range from 6.0 to 10.0. Mossbauer spectroscopy of samples in which the added Fe 2+ is enriched in Fe-57 shows that the Fe²⁺ ions bind to the ferritin core and exchange electrons with Fe³⁺ ions in the core.
