Abstract
Polarographic study of the mobilization of ferritin iron Polarographic study allows to propose a model for mobilization of ferritin iron: an equilibrium exists between iron core and small quantities of iron outside the protein. These iron atoms would be lying on electron acceptor sites including SH groups. The number of sites is dependent on iron content of ferritin. Therefore, the iron could be removed by the action of reducing agents such as xanthine oxidase or ascorbic acid, and then chelated by a complexing agent.
