Abstract excerpt
Iron-sulfur clusters (Fe-S) are ubiquitous cofactors present in numerous proteins of most living organisms. By way of an example, the E. coli bacterium synthesizes more that 130 different types of Fe-S proteins. Fe-S proteins are involved in a great diversity of biological processes, ranging from respiration, photosynthesis, central metabolism, to genetic expression and genomic stability. Proteins can acquire...
