Abstract

Iron-protein complexes were investigated by methods of differential gravimetric and differential thermal analyses. Studying the thermal stability has shown that, under heating, these complexes undergo two basic stages of thermal dissociation: dehydration (180-240°) and decomposition of the dehydrated complex (300-700°). Differences in heat dissociation of metal-protein complexes show the varying stabilities of their chemical bonds. It was also found that an additional introduction of ferricion (Fe3+) decreases the stability of iron-protein complexes.
