Iron--sulfur environment in rubredoxin

Journal Article · · Biophys. J.; (United States)

The atomic environment around the iron site in the nonheme iron sulfur protein rubredoxin was studied by the extended X-ray absorption fine structure (EXAFS) technique. Within experimental error, the Fe-S bonds in oxidized Clostridium pasteurianum rubredoxin are the same as in the analogue anion (Fe(S/sub 2/-o-xyl)/sub 2/)/sup -/ synthesized by Holm. The average Fe-S bond length is 2.267 +- 0.003A and the root mean square deviation about this average due to structural disorder is 0.032/sup +0.013/sub -0.032;.
