title: Chemiluminescence in the presence of ferritin.
abstract: The ability of ferritins with differing iron contents to catalyze the oxidation of luminol by hydrogen peroxide was studied. The least efficient catalysts were iron-rich ferritins, and the most potent were those with iron to protein ratios of less than 0.1.
