An electrochemical study of the iron storage protein, ferritin.
The electrochemical behavior of iron storage protein, ferritin (molecular weight 700 000) was studied by pulse polarography, cyclic voltammetry and 'potentiometry' monitored by colorimetry. Comparison between in vivo and voltammetric redox reactions of the ferritin Fe(III) core and thermodynamic E'0 values for native ferritin are described.
