One of his observations was that the ice was not moving in the same direction as the wind. It was moving consistently to the right of the wind direction. This phenomenon would later become known as Ekman transport. As wind blows across the ocean, it moves water because of friction at the ocean surface.
Iron cannot be transported around the body's circulation system as free iron, since it would be susceptible to chelation by siderophores, or may precipitate as iron(III) oxide, or may form iron(II). Therefore, a specific transport protein is required, called transferrin. (In fact, a whole class of transferrin-like proteins is involved in iron transport.) Transferrin is a medium-sized protein with a relative molecular mass of about 80 000.
