Nanomaterials are currently widely exploited for their potential in the development of novel
cancer therapies, and so far, mainly nanoparticles (NPs) consisting of liposomes and …

Advances in aerosol technology over the past 10 years have enabled the generation and
design of ultrafine nanoscale materials for many applications. A key new method is flame …

WhiD, a member of the WhiB-like (Wbl) family of iron− sulfur proteins found exclusively
within the actinomycetes, is required for the late stages of sporulation in Streptomyces …

The role of metal ions in protein folding and structure is a critical topic to a range of scientists
in numerous fields, particularly those working in structural biology and bioinorganic …

The near universal availability of UV–Visible spectrophotometers makes this instrument a
highly exploited tool for the inexpensive, rapid examination of iron-sulfur clusters. Yet, the …

The biological insertion of iron–sulfur clusters (Fe–S) involves the interaction of (metallo)
chaperons with a partly folded target polypeptide. In this respect, the study of nonnative …

Thermal perturbation of the dicluster ferredoxin from Acidianus ambivalens was investigated
employing a toolbox of spectroscopic methods. FTIR and visible CD were used for …

Zinc centers play a key role as important structure determinants in a variety of proteins
including ferredoxins (Fd). Here, we exploit the availability of two highly similar ferredoxin …

A detailed understanding of the molecular basis of protein folding and stability determinants
partly relies on the study of proteins with enhanced conformational stability properties, such …

Detailed structural models of di-cluster seven-iron ferredoxins constitute a valuable resource
for folding and stability studies relating the metal cofactors' role in protein stability. The here …
