Protein-bound iron-sulfur ([Fe-S]) clusters, which are polynuclear combinations of iron and sulfur atoms, are among the most structurally and functionally versatile cofactors in biology 1. [Fe-S ...

Their findings are published in the Journal of the American Chemical Society. "Iron-sulfur ([FeS]) clusters are essential, widely distributed protein cofactors that perform a wide variety of ...

We can find proteins with these iron-sulfur clusters in all forms of life. In fact, researchers propose they date back to the Last Universal Common Ancestor—an ancient ancestral cell from which ...

Saunders received her doctorate from Penn State University where her research focused on isolating and characterizing enzymes that use iron-sulfur clusters as cofactors. After graduating, Saunders ...
