Current understanding indicates that at least two distinct mechanisms are in operation in prokaryotic ferritins. In one, the ferroxidase centre acts as a true catalytic centre in driving Fe(2+) oxidation in the cavity; in the other, the centre acts as a gated iron pore by oxidising Fe(2+) and transf...
