Mechanistic Studies on Synthetic Fe−S-Based Clusters and Their Relevance to the Action of Nitrogenases

Mechanistic studies on metal-containing clusters have fallen short in chemical reviews. Fe-S clusters are widespread in biology, so defining the mechanistic chemistry of synthetic Fe-S based clusters will lead to a better understanding of the fundamental chemistry underpinning the action of proteins...

Description
Summary:Mechanistic studies on metal-containing clusters have fallen short in chemical reviews. Fe-S clusters are widespread in biology, so defining the mechanistic chemistry of synthetic Fe-S based clusters will lead to a better understanding of the fundamental chemistry underpinning the action of proteins containing these types of clusters.
