title: The identity of Escherichia coli bacterioferritin and cytochrome b1.
abstract: Two different procedures were used to prepare pure samples of 'cytochrome b1' (column chromatography) and 'bacterioferritin' (immunoprecipitation) from Escherichia coli K-12 strain CA265. Both were crystallized, and X-ray-crystallographic data were compared with those from the bacterioferritin of E. coli strain W3300 used as a standard. We conclude that 'cytochrome b1' and 'bacterioferritin' are identical.
