TL;DR:
The impact of Y30F on rates of formation of Fe(III)-protein complexes in ferritin, combined with Mössbauer spectroscopic studies, indicate that at least one of the pathways for Fe oxidation/transfer in Ferritin is through the center of the four-helix bundle and is influenced by structural features dependent on tyrosine 30.
