Ferritin-assisted biomineralization and drug delivery: It's a matter of hard and soft
This review focuses on two main activities that have been the subject of research in our group during the last 15 years that concerns i) tracking of the iron(II) pathways in the ferritin cage to reach the ferroxidase site or the nucleation sites as well as identifying the interactions between the protein matrix and the iron(III) products; ii) identifying the binding mode of gold(I) metal compounds to the cage surface for their targeted delivery towards cancer cells. The resulting metal interaction sites in the protein cage can be categorized based on their preference for binding to hard or soft cations.
期刊介绍:
The Journal of Inorganic Biochemistry is an established international forum for research in all aspects of Biological Inorganic Chemistry. Original papers of a high scientific level are published in the form of Articles (full length papers), Short Communications, Focused Reviews and Bioinorganic Methods. Topics include: the chemistry, structure and function of metalloenzymes; the interaction of inorganic ions and molecules with proteins and nucleic acids; the synthesis and properties of coordination complexes of biological interest including both structural and functional model systems; the function of metal- containing systems in the regulation of gene expression; the role of metals in medicine; the application of spectroscopic methods to determine the structure of metallobiomolecules; the preparation and characterization of metal-based biomaterials; and related systems. The emphasis of the Journal is on the structure and mechanism of action of metallobiomolecules.
