AI Article Synopsis
- The D14C variant of Pyrococcus furiosus ferredoxin is used to explore the unique properties of a [3Fe-4S] iron-sulfur cluster at two oxidation states.
- The study employs spectroscopic and computational methods to analyze how these properties change compared to the standard [4Fe-4S] cluster in the same protein.
- Results reveal important differences in vibrational properties that are tied to the electronic and structural characteristics of both clusters.
Article Abstract
The D14C variant of Pyrococcus furiosus ferredoxin provides an extraordinary framework to investigate a [3Fe-4S] cluster at two oxidation levels and compare the results to its physiologic [4Fe-4S] counterpart in the very same protein. Our spectroscopic and computational study reveals vibrational property changes related to the electronic and structural aspects of both Fe-S clusters.
