An earlier tutorial entitled "Ferritin Molecular-Graphics Tutorial" (http://www.chemistry.wustl.edu/EduDev/Ferritin; accessed May 2001) developed at Washington University describes the ferritin iron-release process in more detail and was written for a second-semester general-chemistry student. This earlier tutorial also describes the Ferritin experiment.
