Outline of Final Research Achievements |
To elucidate the involvement of ferric reductase reaction in Fenton reaction, we purified ferric reductases and iron storage proteins involved in iron reduction. Additionally, we quantified non-protein bound flavin (free flavin) in cells of Escherichia coli and Synechocystis sp. PCC6803 because free flavins were known to be involved in ferric reductase reaction. The ferric reductase reaction was observed under the concentration of the free flavins. These results suggest that the ferric reductase reaction involving free flavins may occur in vivo.
