Abstract
57Fe Mössbauer spectra of normal and Rous sarcoma virus-infected cultured chick embryo fibroblasts and rat glioma cells have been measured between 0.08 and 318 K. Ferritin-like iron and bacterio-ferritin-like iron have been found in these cells, in various relative amounts, indicating a close relationship between the two storage materials. The bacterio-ferritin-like iron was found to be predominantly membrane-bound. Above 260 K very wide lines were observed in the Mössbauer spectra, yielding an effective viscosity of about 1 poise in the normal chick embryo fibroblasts and about 0.5 poise in the virus-infected chick embryo fibroblasts.
