Biological iron-sulfur storage in a thioferrate-protein nanoparticle

Biological iron-sulfur storage in a thioferrate-protein nanoparticle

The biosynthesis of iron-sulfur clusters in anaerobic organisms has not been extensively investigated. Here, the authors identify and characterize a multi-subunit protein that stores iron and sulfur in thioferrate for the assembly of the clusters inPyrococcus furiosus.
