Iron–sulfur (Fe–S) clusters are cofactors essential for life. Though the proteins that function
in the assembly of Fe–S clusters are well known, details of the molecular mechanism are …

Heavy metal contamination is a serious environmental problem. Understanding the toxicity
mechanisms may allow to lower concentration of metals in the metal‐based antimicrobial …

Mitochondrial Fe–S cluster biosynthesis is accomplished within yeast utilizing the
biophysical attributes of the “Isu1” scaffold assembly protein. As a member of a highly …

Cadmium, although not redox active is highly toxic. Yet, the underlying mechanisms driving
toxicity are still to be characterized. In this study, we took advantage of the purple bacterium …

Summary Pollution by copper (Cu2+) extensively used as antimicrobial in agriculture and
farming represents a threat to the environment and human health. Finding ways to make …

Iron-sulfur clusters are ubiquitous and phylogenetically conserved cofactors that are
essential in all kingdoms of life. These cofactors are biosynthesized, in eukaryotes, within …

Beschreibungen: Wasserstoff gilt als der ideale Energieträger der Zukunft, da er eine sehr
hohe Energiedichte besitzt und emissionsfrei verbrennt. Da H2 in der Natur jedoch nur in …

This dissertation consists of two parts that together broadly aim to understand the
relationship between the structure and function of protein. Part I is a study of the Fe-S cluster …
