Iron is an essential biological element for most organisms, from bacteria to mammals. It is usually stored in metalloprotein centers, heme complexes, and oxygen carrier proteins. Most of the iron stored in the body is ferritin, but as iron is overloaded, the proportion of iron sulfur protein will increase. Iron is essential for many metabolic processes, including oxygen transport, DNA synthesis, and electron transport.
Under the action of acidic solution and reductant, ferric ions can be separated from transferrin in serum, and reduced into ferrous ions (Fe2+). The latter then bind to bipyridine and form pink complexes. The concentration of iron can be calculated by measuring the OD value at 520 nm indirectly.
