Bacterioferritins and ferritins are distantly related in evolution - conservation of ferroxidase-center residues

open access: yes, 1991
Iron-storage proteins can be divided into two classes; the bacterioferritins and ferritins. In spite of many apparent structural and functional analogies, no significant amino acid sequence similarity has been detected previously. This report now reveals

MXene Wrapped Magnetic Mesocrystals for Durable Redox Catalytic Cancer Therapy and Responsive MRI

open access: yesAdvanced Functional Materials, EarlyView.
Conformal wrapping of ultrathin Ti3C2Tx MXene nanosheets on Fe3O4 mesocrystals creates topology‐stabilized Schottky junctions that direct photoinduced electron transfer under NIR irradiation. The unique architecture sustains Fenton catalysis, promotes continuous hydroxyl radical production, and provides photo‐responsive MRI contrast.

Kelvin Probe Force Microscopy in Bionanotechnology: Current Advances and Future Perspectives

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
Kelvin probe force microscopy (KPFM) enables the nanoscale mapping of electrostatic surface potentials. While widely applied in materials science, its use in biological systems remains emerging. This review presents recent advances in KPFM applied to biological samples and provides a critical perspective on current limitations and future directions for

Direct Synthesis of High‐Valence Protein@UiO‐66 Composites: Linking Crystallization Pathways to Protein Encapsulation

open access: yesAdvanced Materials, EarlyView.
This work reports a direct, biocompatible method to synthesize UiO‐66, enabling one‐step encapsulation of proteins without compromising crystallinity or activity. Using advanced in situ and ex situ techniques, the study reveals that proteins integrate concurrently with MOF growth, forming crystalline protein@UiO‐66 nanoparticles, and provide insight ...

Iron at the center of ferritin, metal/oxygen homeostasis and novel dietary strategies

open access: yesBiological Research, 2006
Bioiron _ central to respiration, photosynthesis and DNA synthesis and complicated by radical chemistry with oxygen _ depends on ferritin, the super family of protein nanocages (maxi-ferritins in humans, animals, plants and bacteria, and mini-ferritins ...

Iron core mineralisation in prokaryotic ferritins

open access: yes, 2010
The prokaryotic ferritins exhibit a wide variation in mechanisms of iron core mineralisation. The basis of these differences lies, at least in part, in structural differences at and around the catalytic centre.

Recombinant H-chain ferritins: Effects of changes in the 3-fold channels

open access: yes, 1989
Human H-chain ferritins bearing sequence changes in the 3-fold channels have been expressed in E. coli to investigate the role of these channels in iron-storage processes. The proteins assemble into shells resembling those of native ferritins.
