Abstract

An electron microscopy study, in combination with modeling and image simulation, of four different reconstituted ferritin samples: recombinant human H and L homopolymers, and H and L heteropolymers of native L-subunit-rich horse spleen and H-subunit-rich human heart ferritins, points out the existence of a correlation between iron core shape and protein shell.
