Iron-Sulfur Clusters in Mitochondrial Enzymes

Research output: Chapter in Book/Report/Conference proceedingChapter

Abstract

The past decade has witnessed an explosive growth in our understanding of the structures and chemical reactivities of the various Fe-S clusters in biological material. These developments have resulted in part from the application of sophisticated physical methods such as EXAFS (extended X-ray absorption fine structure), MCD, Mössbauer, and resonance Raman spectroscopy to the problem. Another advance has come from the development of synthetic analogues of the various Fe-S clusters (Holm, 1977; Ibers and Holm, 1980; Berg and Holm, 1982), and the analysis by X-ray crystallography at high resolution of the structure of the models and of some comparatively simple, low molecular weight proteins containing corresponding clusters.
