Three aromatic residues are required for electron transfer during iron mineralization in bacterioferritin
Ferritins are iron storage proteins that overcome the problems of toxicity and poor bioavailability of iron by catalyzing iron oxidation and mineralization through the activity of a diiron ferroxidase site. Unlike in other ferritins, the oxidized di-Fe3+ site of Escherichia coli bacterioferritin (Ec...
