| leghemoglobin | A haemoglobin-like oxygen-binding haemprotein present in the nitrogen-fixing root nodules of leguminous plants. The red pigment has a molecular weight approximately 1/4 that of haemoglobin and has been suggested to act as an oxido-reduction catalyst in symbiotic nitrogen fixation. (12 Dec 1998) |

| ferric citrate iron reductase | <enzyme> Requires fmn, uses NADH; fre1 and fre2 provide membrane-associated ferric reductase activity for saccharomyces cerevisiae Registry number: EC 1.6.99.- Synonym: ferric iron reductase, iron reductase, ferric reductase, NADH-dependent, ferrireductase, iron (iii) reductase, ferric reductase, fre1 gene product, fre2 gene product, ferric-chelate reductase, NADH-dependent ferric-chelate reductase, NADH-dependent iron(iii)-chelate reductase, fecitr, NADH-fe(iii)-chelate reductase, nfr enzyme (26 Jun 1999) |
| ammonium ferric sulfate | An astringent and styptic. Synonym: ammonium ferric sulfate, ferric alum, iron alum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| Schmorl's ferric-ferricyanide reduction stain | <technique> A stain to test for reducing substances in tissues, including melanin, argentaffin granules, thyroid colloid, keratin, keratohyalin, and lipofuscin pigments; ferricyanide is converted into ferrocyanide which is converted to insoluble Prussian blue in the presence of ferric ions. (05 Mar 2000) |
| sulfur-ferric ion oxidoreductase | <enzyme> From thiobacillus ferrooxidans; catalyses the production of sulfite and fe(2+) from elemental sulfur and fe(3+) Registry number: EC 1.8.99.- Synonym: sf oxidoreductase, sulfite-ferric ion oxidoreductase (26 Jun 1999) |
| ferric | Pertaining to, derived from, or containing iron. <chemistry> Specifically, denoting those compounds in which iron has a higher valence than in the ferrous compounds; as, ferric oxide; ferric acid. <chemistry> Ferric acid, sesquioxide of iron, Fe2O3; hematite. See Hematite. Origin: L. Ferrum iron: cf. F. Ferrique. See Ferrous. Source: Websters Dictionary (01 Mar 1998) |
| ferric alum | An astringent and styptic. Synonym: ammonium ferric sulfate, ferric alum, iron alum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ferric ammonium citrate | Soluble ferric citrate;a compound used in hypochromic anaemia; it is relatively free of astringent and irritant action. Ferric ammonium citrate green is often used in hypochromic anaemia. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ferric ammonium sulfate | An astringent and styptic. Synonym: ammonium ferric sulfate, ferric alum, iron alum. (05 Mar 2000) |
| ferric and ammonium acetate solution | A clear, aromatic, reddish-brown liquid which has been used in iron-deficiency anaemia in animals and man; a source of iron. Synonym: Basham's mixture. (05 Mar 2000) |
