Abstract:

Iron is one of the most important metals for life, as it is necessary for the proper functioning of proteins that mediate essential cellular processes such as DNA precursor synthesis, respiration, photosynthesis, and nitrogen fixation. Iron is one of the most abundant elements on earth; however, its bioavailability is very low. In the presence of oxygen, ferrous iron oxidizes to ferric iron that is poorly soluble at neutral pH. Additionally, free iron is toxic due to the formation of free oxygen radicals that can cause cell damage ( ). Therefore, in biological systems the iron is complexed to keep it soluble and to reduce the toxicity of free iron.
