摘要
Ferritin composed entirely of the H-chain subunit (rHF) was studied to determine whether electrochemical potential alone could induce rHF to take LIP or release iron. Horse rHF was expressed in E. coli, purified, and covalently immobilized on a self-assembled monolayer of 6-mercaptohexanoic acid on gold electrodes. Cyclic voltammetry was used to show that iron was released from rHF following electrochemical reduction, and iron uptake was induced by applying an oxidizing potential to rHF in the presence of ferrous ion.
