1 The rate of in vitro incorporation of iron (Fe) into Ft was tested by supplementing the reaction medium with physiological Fe chelators. Iron ferritin-1, chloroplastic Glycine max
2 The rate of in vitro incorporation of iron (Fe) into Ft was tested by supplementing the reaction medium with physiological Fe chelators. Iron ferritin-1, chloroplastic Glycine max
3 Moreover, a substantial decrease in the Trp-dependent fluorescence of the Ft protein was determined during Fe uptake from Fe-citrate, as compared with the control. Iron ferritin-1, chloroplastic Glycine max
4 On the other hand, Ft addition to homogenates from soybean embryonic axes reduced endogenously generated ascorbyl radical, according to its capacity for Fe uptake. Iron ferritin-1, chloroplastic Glycine max
5 The data presented here suggest that Ft could be involved in the generation of free radicals, such as hydroxyl radical, by Fe-catalyzed reactions. Iron ferritin-1, chloroplastic Glycine max
6 However, Ft could also prevent cellular damage by the uptake of catalytically active Fe. Iron ferritin-1, chloroplastic Glycine max
