This fact is related to the ability of the transition metal to exist in two oxidation states, the reduced ferrous (Fe2+) and the oxidized ferric (Fe3+). Given the relative availability of aqueous iron (the element which constitutes ~5% of the earth’s crust) one is not surprised ...

Reactivity of MEST-1 (antigalactofuranose) with Trypanosoma cruzi, glycosylinositol phosphorylceramides (GIPCs): Immunolocalization of GIPCs in acidic vesicles of epimastigotes [PDF]
Using confocal microscopy, MEST-1-positive immunofluorescence was observed within various Trypanosoma cruzi forms, except in cell-derived trypomastigotes. Glycosylinositol phosphorylceramides were identified by thin-layer chromatography immunostaining as
