Abstract excerpt

Ferredoxin from the hyperthermophilic archaeon Pyrococcus furiosus is a monomeric protein (7.5 kDa) that contains a single [4Fe-4S]1+, 2+ cluster. The protein is unusual in that its cluster is coordinated by three Cys and one Asp residue, rather than by the typical four Cys residues. Site-directe...
