The reduction of exogenous ferric iron by Listeria monocytogenes, a Gram-positive food-borne pathogen, was investigated. Using an assay incorporating the ferrous iron chelator ferrozine, we showed tha...
The role of the electronic properties of the heme group of rat cytochrome b5 in biological electron transfer was investigated by substituting chlorin analogues for the native protoporphyrin IX prosthe...
Oxidative DNA damage can be caused by radicals generated by transitional metals like iron in Fenton reaction. Metallothionein (MT) may play an important role in preventing oxidative DNA damage. Theref...
The periplasmic iron binding protein plays an essential role in the iron uptake pathway of Gram-negative pathogenic bacteria from the Pasteurellaceae and Neisseriaceae families and is critical for sur...
Intestinal iron absorption is thought to proceed with iron mainly in the ferrous form, yet the novel iron complex, ferric maltol is an effective oral preparation. Although possessing a high oil: water...
Normal values of Bohr effect of oxygenation of partially oxidized hemoglobin A with ferrihemes liganded either with H2O and OH or with CN have been found in the range of pH values from 6.8 to 7.6 in 4...
