A natural biogenic nanozyme for scavenging superoxide radicals [PDF]

Nature Communications
Biominerals, the inorganic minerals of organisms, are known mainly for their physical property-related functions in modern living organisms. Our recent discovery of the enzyme-like activities of nanomaterials, coined as nanozyme, inspires the hypothesis ...

Recombinant ferritins for multimodal nanomedicine

Journal of Enzyme Inhibition and Medicinal Chemistry, 2023
In all living organisms, ferritins are a group of proteins important for maintaining iron homeostasis. Increasing amount of studies has shown that recombinant ferritins can be widely used in multimodal nanomedicine, especially for anticancer treatment ...

The Distribution of Ferritins in Marine Copepods

Journal of Marine Science and Engineering, 2023
Iron is an essential element for the functioning of cellular processes. Ferritins, the major intracellular iron storage proteins, convert the free Fe2+ into the nontoxic Fe3+ which can be stored and transported where needed.

Ferritins: furnishing proteins with iron [PDF]

JBIC Journal of Biological Inorganic Chemistry, 2016
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 subunits that individually fold into 4-α-helix bundles and assemble in ...

Heterologous Expression of Either Human or Soya Bean Ferritins in Budding Yeast Reveals Common Functions Protecting Against Oxidative Agents and Counteracting Double-Strand Break Accumulation [PDF]

Biomolecules
Ferritins are globular proteins that, upon self-assembly in nanocages, are capable of bio-safely storing huge concentrations of bioavailable iron. They are present in most cell types and organisms; one of the exceptions is yeast.

Ferritin microheterogeneity, subunit composition, functional, and physiological implications [PDF]

Scientific Reports, 2023
Ferritin is a ubiquitous intracellular iron storage protein that plays a crucial role in iron homeostasis. Animal tissue ferritins consist of multiple isoforms (or isoferritins) with different proportions of H and L subunits that contribute to their ...
