  • Title: A brief history of iron metabolism.
    Author: Neilands JB.
    Journal: Biol Met; 1991; 4(1):1-6. PubMed ID: 1854584.
    Abstract:
    A concise history of selected aspects of iron metabolism is presented. According to present understanding, the element is known to be required for transport and reduction of O2, for reduction of CO2, N2 and ribonucleotides, and for other essential cellular processes. The contributions of pioneers in the field, preeminent among them the cell physiologist and biochemist Otto Warburg, are recounted.
