Investigation 1
Detailed studies on biological Fe-S catalysts. In order to evaluate the connection
among Fe-S-based catalysis in minerals, clusters, and biocatalysts, we propose
to investigate:
- Biological mechanisms for Fe-S cluster synthesis and assembly, including
the introduction of cluster modifications and their role in radical chemistry.
- Structural and physical characterization of complex Fe-S cluster-containing
enzymes.
- Homogeneous (solution) catalytic properties of Fe-S cluster enzymes.
- Spectroscopic and computational analyses of Fe-S clusters in selected enzymes
(nitrogenase, hydrogenase)
