Ferritin proteins function to detoxify, solubilize and store cellular iron by directing the synthesis of a ferric oxyhydroxide mineral solubilized within the protein's central cavity. Here, through the application of X-ray crystallographic and kinetic methods, we report significant new insight into the mechanism of mineralization in a bacterioferritin (BFR) ...
