This contribution focuses on the earliest steps of the assembly of FeS clusters and their insertion into acceptor apoproteins, that call for transient formation of a 2Fe2S cluster on a scaffold protein from sulfide and iron salts. For the sake of simplicity, ...

The oxidized state is EPR-silent. The weakness of the sulfur ligand field causes the iron atoms to be high-spin. But how can two sulfur-ligated iron atoms, each with a tendency to be high-spin, produce a state with a single unpaired electron? The individual Fe atoms in the Fe 2 S 2 cluster resemble those in rubredoxin quite closely.

Iron-sulfur (Fe/S) clusters require a complex set of proteins to become assembled and incorporated into apoproteins in a living cell. Researchers have described three distinct assembly systems in eukaryotes that are involved in the maturation of cellular Fe/S proteins. Mitochondria are central for b …

Cancer cells preferentially accumulate iron (Fe) relative to non-malignant cells; however, the underlying rationale remains elusive. Iron-sulfur (Fe-S) clusters are critical cofactors that aid in a wide variety of cellular functions (e.g., DNA metabolism and electron transport). In this article, we …

Since the discovery of an autonomous iron-sulfur cluster (Fe-S) assembly machinery in mitochondria, significant efforts to examine the nature of this process have been made. The assembly of Fe-S clusters occurs in two distinct steps with the initial synthesis of [2Fe-2S] clusters by a first machiner …

The biogenesis of iron-sulfur proteins within a living cell is traditionally investigated by enzyme activity measurements and radiolabeling techniques. In this issue of Chemistry and Biology, Hoff et al. introduce a non-invasive fluorescence-based method to trace the formation of iron-sulfur clusters at high sensitivity.

Pro 2 of 4: Cleans sulfur-reducing and iron-oxidizing bacteria . The second-best thing about this system is that it can effectively remove iron-oxidizing and sulfur-reducing bacteria in well water. It's important to note that iron and sulfur bacteria differ from regular iron and hydrogen sulfide contamination.

A mixture of equal parts iron (ferrous) sulfate (Table 2) and elemental sulfur can produce lasting results and is relatively inexpensive. Select an inorganic iron source with a high concentration of iron and one that is derived from iron or ferrous sulfate. Read labels to determine iron concentrations and forms in different products.
