The synthesis and regulation of iron–sulfur (Fe/S) clusters represent a fundamental process in living cells, integral to a multitude of biochemical pathways including electron transport, catalytic ...

When iron filings and sulfur powder are ignited, the reaction is anything but gentle. The two elements fuse into iron sulfide, releasing intense heat and sometimes toxic gas. It’s a classic ...

A bacterium that uses sulfide as an energy source to metabolize solid iron oxides has been discovered, revealing a biological reaction that was previously assumed to be solely chemical. This finding ...

Iron-sulfur clusters are important cofactors required for the catalytic sites of various enzymes. Researchers have hypothesized that such clusters may have even been involved in the emergence of ...

Researchers captured in real time how iron-sulfur nanostructures form in solution, using time-resolved X-rays to follow the pathway from precursors to ultrathin layers. (Nanowerk News) Researchers at ...
