A result of this is that organisms have developed methods for the uptake, transport and storage of iron. Bacteria, in particular, secrete very powerful iron chelators known as siderophores. Of all the iron–siderophore complexes, the iron(III)–enterobactin complex has the exceptionally high stability constant of 1049 mo SpaceX finally makes long-delayed launch More on the openFrameworks and the Kinect I guess it's Peter Daukintis week. :) Today's project he's showing off the openFrameworks.
