Mössbauer spectroscopy with a high velocity resolution in the study of iron-containing proteins and model compounds

Spectrochim Acta A Mol Biomol Spectrosc. 2011 Aug 15;79(4):777-83. doi: 10.1016/j.saa.2010.08.052. Epub 2010 Sep 28.

Abstract

Mössbauer spectroscopy with a high velocity resolution was used for comparative studies of human adult, rabbit and pig oxyhemoglobins, human liver ferritin and its pharmaceutically important models Imferon and Maltofer(®) as well as liver and spleen tissues from normal and lymphoid leukemia chicken. These studies revealed small variations of Mössbauer hyperfine parameters which were related to small variations of iron electronic structure and stereochemistry in these samples.
