The role of electrochemical processes on Fe and CdSO4 in the crystallization of horse spleen ferritin has been investigated using the cyclic voltammetry technique. It was found that although both species exhibit important redox properties in the presence of an external applied potential, CdSO4 played a leading role not only in the nucleation process but also in the growth behaviour and morphology of ferritin crystals.
