Iron storage and transport

There are many other proteins that contain iron in a form that is neither in haem nor in iron-sulfur clusters. We have already encountered the iron storage and transport proteins, ferritin and transferrin (see Chapter 8). We propose to discuss here two other classes of iron-containing proteins, those with mononuclear non-haem iron centres and those with dinuclear non-haem iron centres.

The relevant biological questions are how the iron is converted from mineral to protein and once in the protein what is the specialized role played by the iron in the function of that protein In this chapter we concern ourselves with the means by which iron is obtained and secured for the living organism through the iron storage and transport proteins, and in particular how Mossbauer effect and electron spin resonance spectroscopy can help to understand the electronic and molecular structure of these proteins.
