Ferritin is an iron-storage protein in most living systems with a cage-like structure. It has inherent property to form metallic nanocore within its cavity. The metallic core formed within the Archaeoglobus fulgidus ferritin cavity is stabilized by modulating the protein structure by site directed m...
