involved in numerous cellular processes such as respiration, photosynthesis, metabolic …

If the atmosphere of the early Earth was hydrogen-rich, 1 it is reasonable to think that
hydrogenases, the enzymes enabling cells to use molecular hydrogen, were probably …

Abstract Iron–sulfur (Fe–S) clusters are ubiquitous cofactors essential for life. It is largely
thought that the emergence of oxygenic photosynthesis and progressive oxygenation of the …

▪ Abstract Iron-sulfur [Fe-S] clusters are ubiquitous and evolutionary ancient prosthetic
groups that are required to sustain fundamental life processes. Owing to their remarkable …

The broad range of cellular activities carried out by Fe–S proteins means that they have a
central role in the life of most organisms. At the interface between biology and chemistry …

The assembly of iron-sulfur (Fe-S) clusters is mediated by complex machinery. In several
proteobacteria, this process involves ISC (Fe-S cluster assembly) machinery composed of at …

Deamination of the ethylene precursor 1-aminocyclopropane-1-carboxylic acid (ACC) is a
key plant-beneficial trait found in plant growth-promoting rhizobacteria (PGPR) and …
