Abstract

DNA is an excellent complexing agent for ferric iron. However it does not provide an adequate matrix for 57Fe nuclear resonance absorption at room temperature. Cellular ferritin with large particle size displays a broad resonance at ambient temperature. Therefore only ferritin could provide, if at all, the essential prerequisite for the MIRAGE effect.
