Structural characterization of bacterioferritin from Blastochloris viridis.
Iron storage and elimination of toxic ferrous iron are the responsibility of bacterioferritins in bacterial species. Bacterioferritins are capable of oxidizing iron using molecular oxygen and import iron ions into the large central cavity of the protein, where they are stored in a mineralized form....

Iron storage and elimination of toxic ferrous iron are the responsibility of bacterioferritins in bacterial species.
