Structural characterization of encapsulated ferritin provides insight into iron storage in bacterial nanocompartments
Didi He, Sam Hughes, Sally Vanden-Hehir…·Jon Marles-Wright
The paper characterizes an encapsulated ferritin within an encapsulin capsid, showing it forms a ferroxidase center but cannot mineralize iron, while the shell binds iron but is not enzymatically active.
