title: Noncovalent insertion of ferrocenes into the protein shell of apo-ferritin.
abstract: Apo-ferritin was used for the incorporation of functionalized ferrocene derivatives and the resulting composites were studied by means of single-crystal X-ray diffraction and electrochemical analysis, revealing a different incorporation behaviour of the ferrocenes governed by the functional group present.
