Light chain human ferritin
Light ferritin, along with heavy ferritin (hFTN INCLUDE LINKNKN), forms ferritin, a ubiquitous iron-storage nanoparticle. Iron is stored in a form called ferrihydrite (Fe2O3) <includ link for ferritin>
Ferritin has been used as a reporter system, in a manner similar to horseradish peroxidase, by a reaction known as the Fenton reaction. Hydrogen peroxide is homolytically cleaved to produce hydroxide radicals, which then react with certain substrates, such as TMB and ABTS, to produce a colourimetric change. <pictures or something>
One highly favourable aspect of this protein is how robust it is. Ferritin has been shown to be stable in extreme conditions, ranging from the pH of _________, temperatures of ________ and urea concentrations of _________.
