Ferritin nanovehicle for targeted delivery of cytochrome C to cancer cells [PDF]

, 2019
In this work, we have exploited the unique properties of a chimeric archaeal-human ferritin to encapsulate, deliver and release cytochrome c and induce apoptosis in a myeloid leukemia cell line.

Iron-based ferritin nanocore as a contrast agent [PDF]

, 2010
Self-assembling protein cages have been exploited as templates for nanoparticle synthesis. The ferritin molecule, a protein cage present in most living systems, stores excess soluble ferrous iron in the form of an insoluble ferric complex within its ...

Nanoscale magnetic imaging of ferritins in a single cell

Science Advances, 2019
A nitrogen-vacancy center in diamond is used for magnetic imaging of intracellular proteins in a single cell at 10-nm scale. The in situ measurement of the distribution of biomolecules inside a cell is one of the important goals in life science.

Titanium as a Beneficial Element for Crop Production

Frontiers in Plant Science, 2017
Titanium (Ti) is considered a beneficial element for plant growth. Ti applied via roots or leaves at low concentrations has been documented to improve crop performance through stimulating the activity of certain enzymes, enhancing chlorophyll content and

Improving Blueberry Anthocyanins’ Stability Using a Ferritin Nanocarrier

Molecules, 2023
Blueberries are fruits known for their high level of anthocyanins, which have high nutritional value and several biological properties. However, the chemical instability of anthocyanins is one of the major limitations of their application.

Diversity of Fe2+ entry and oxidation in ferritins [PDF]

, 2017
The essential metal iron presents two major problems for life: it is potentially highly toxic due to its redox activity, and its extremely low solubility in aqueous solution in the presence of O2 can make it hard to acquire and store safely.

Reaction of O2 with a di-iron protein generates a mixed valent Fe2+/Fe3+ center and peroxide [PDF]

, 2019
The gene encoding the cyanobacterial ferritin SynFtn is up-regulated in response to copper stress. Here, we show that, while SynFtn does not interact directly with copper, it is highly unusual in several ways.

Mass spectrometry reveals the assembly pathway of encapsulated ferritins and highlights a dynamic ferroxidase interface.

Chemical Communications, 2019
Encapsulated ferritins (EncFtn) are a recently characterised member of the ferritin superfamily. EncFtn proteins are sequestered within encapsulin nanocompartments and form a unique biological iron storage system.
