摘要：

Ferritin molecule consists of a spherical polypeptide shell (apoferritin) surrounding a nanometeric inorganic core of iron oxide ferihydrite. It has the ability to sequester and store iron in a bio-available form by mobilizing or immobilizing iron through its narrow channels in the stable polypeptide quaternary structure[1,2].Our original idea was to explore the catalytic activity of the inner nano-sized, iron oxide core. It was also hoped that the spherical hollow polypeptide shell with channels might act as a biological-molecular, sieve, displaying some kinds of shape and size selectivity.
