Iron-Sulfur Clusters in Chemistry and Biology. / Volume 1, : Characterization, Properties and Applications / / ed. by Tracey Rouault.

This volume on iron-sulfur proteins includes chapters that describe the initial discovery of iron-sulfur proteins in the 1960s to elucidation of the roles of iron sulfur clusters as prosthetic groups of enzymes, such as the citric acid cycle enzyme, aconitase, and numerous other proteins, ranging fr...
