  • Title: The competitive equilibrium between aluminium and ferric ions for the binding sites of transferrin.
    Author: Cochran M, Coates J, Neoh S.
    Journal: FEBS Lett; 1984 Oct 15; 176(1):129-32. PubMed ID: 6489514.
    Abstract:
    Human transferrin is shown to bind 2 mol of aluminium per mol of protein using spectrophotometric titration. Competitive equilibrium between aluminium and ferric ions for transferrin binding sites is observed, and a value of 2.5 (+/- 0.4) X 10(15) M-1 is found for the apparent binding constant under physiological conditions.
