Iron Carriers and Iron Proteins (Physical Bioinorganic Chemistry Series, vol. 5)

The bioinorganic chemistry of iron in oxygenases and supramolecular assemblies.

The bioinorganic chemistry of iron is central to life processes. Organisms must recruit iron from their environment, control iron storage and trafficking within cells, assemble the complex, iron-containing redox cofactors of metalloproteins, and manage a myriad of biochemical transformations by those enzymes. The coordination chemistry and the variable oxidation states of iron provide the essen...

Iron Supplementation and Physical Performance

Iron is one of the most abundant elements, essential for the completion of numerous important biological functions, including electron transfer reactions, gene regulation, binding and transport of oxygen, regulation of cell growth and differentiation. In the human body it is mainly found in the oxygen transport and storage proteins haemoglobin (Hb) (60 70%) and myoglobin (10%), in various iron-...

Iron-regulatory proteins, iron-responsive elements and ferritin mRNA translation.

Iron plays a central role in the metabolism of all cells. This is evident by its major contribution to many diverse functions, such as DNA replication, bacterial pathogenicity, photosynthesis, oxidative stress control and cell proliferation. In mammalian systems, control of intracellular iron homeostasis is largely due to posttranscriptional regulation of binding by iron-regulatory RNA-binding ...
