Assists in the delivery of iron ions to target proteins or compartments. Interacting selectively and non-covalently with iron (Fe) ions. Interacting selectively and non-covalently with a transition metal ions; a transition metal is an element whose atom has an incomplete d-subshell of extranuclear electrons, or which gives rise to a cation or cations with an incomplete d-subshell. Transition metals often have more than one valency state. Biologically relevant transition metals include vanadium, manganese, iron, copper, cobalt, nickel, molybdenum and silver. Interacting selectively and non-covalently with ferrous iron, Fe(II). Interacting selectively and non-covalently with any metal ion. Interacting selectively and non-covalently with heme, any compound of iron complexed in a porphyrin (tetrapyrrole) ring. Interacting selectively and non-covalently with ferric iron, Fe(III).
