eisenbindende
Eisenbindende refers to the property of a substance to form coordination complexes with iron ions, typically Fe2+ or Fe3+. It encompasses natural iron-binding proteins and peptides, such as transferrin and ferritin, as well as synthetic chelators and certain dietary compounds that can sequester iron. The strength of binding is described by affinity constants and binding capacity, which indicate how readily a substance captures and retains iron.
In biology, iron-binding proteins are essential for iron transport, storage, and utilization. Transferrin carries Fe3+ in
Chemical aspects of Eisenbindende involve coordination chemistry. Fe3+ commonly forms octahedral complexes with oxygen or nitrogen
Medical and practical relevance is notable. Iron chelation therapy uses agents that bind excess iron to promote
