Ferrous Iron Binding Key to Mms6 Magnetite Biomineralisation: A Mechanistic Study to Understand Magnetite Formation Using pH Titration and NMR Spectroscopy

Formation of magnetite nanocrystals by magnetotactic bacteria is controlled by specific proteins which regulate the particles’ nucleation and growth. One such protein is Mms6. This small, amphiphilic protein can self‐assemble and bind ferric ions to aid in magnetite formation. To understand the role...
