Crystal structure of E. coli Bacterioferritin (BFR) obtained after soaking APO-BFR crystals for 2.5 minutes in FE2+ (2.5M FE(II)-BFR)Crystal structure of E. coli Bacterioferritin (BFR) obtained after soaking APO-BFR crystals for 2.5 minutes in FE2+ (2.5M FE(II)-BFR)
Structural highlights
FunctionBFR_ECOLI Iron-storage protein, whose ferroxidase center binds Fe(2+) ions, oxidizes them by dioxygen to Fe(3+), and participates in the subsequent Fe(3+) oxide mineral core formation within the central cavity of the protein complex. The mineralized iron core can contain as many as 2700 iron atoms/24-meric molecule.[1] [2] Evolutionary Conservation![]() Check, as determined by ConSurfDB.
