Interaction of serum albumin with the Fe(III)-citrate complex.
1. Fe(III)-citrate forms a red coloured complex with bovine serum albumin (lambda max = 500 nm). 2. Fe(III)-albumin complexes also appear, when Fe(III)-citrate is mixed with albumin, suggesting that albumin competes with citrate for ferric ions.
