Deskripsi

NifB is a key enzyme in the biosynthesis pathway of the nitrogenase FeMo cofactor. Here, the authors investigate the maturation of its iron-sulfur clusters by EPR and biochemical analyses, showing how individual precursor clusters participate in the formation of the final iron-sulfur cluster.
