| iron-sulfur protein |
a group of proteins, including ferredoxins and adrenodoxin, that function in electron transport; they contain iron-sulfur centers of the form Fe 2 S 2 Cys 4 or Fe 4 S 4 Cys 4 , where Cys denotes a cysteine residue; the iron atoms undergo reversible transitions between the +2 and +3 oxidation states.

Iron(II) sulfate, also known as ferrous sulfate and as copperas (FeSO4) is an example of an ionic compound. It is found in various states of hydration (FeSO4·H2O, FeSO4·4H2O, FeSO4·5H2O, FeSO4·7H2O); the heptahydrate is also called green vitriol, copperas, or melanterite (a mineral that commonly occurs with pyrite). Iron(II) sulfate has a blue-green color, monoclinic crystal structure, and is water-soluble. Its molecular weight is 151.9026 g/mol. ...

| iron deficiency |
Iron deficiency is the most common known form of nutritional deficiency. In the human body, iron is present in all cells and has several vital functions -- as a carrier of oxygen to the tissues from the lungs in the form of hemoglobin, as a facilitator of oxygen use and storage in the muscles as myoglobin, as a transport medium for electrons within the cells in the form of cytochromes, and as an integral part of enzyme reactions in various tissues. ...

| iron overload |
The accumulation of excess iron in body tissues. Iron overload usually occurs as a result of a genetic predisposition to absorb iron in excess of normal. Iron overload can also occur as a complication of: Other hematologic disorders, eg, inherited and acquired anemias. Chronic transfusion therapy or repeated injections of iron dextram. Chronic hepatitis. Excessive iron ingestion.
