Preferred Label : iron-sulfur cluster;
IUPAC definition : A unit comprising two or more iron atoms and bridging sulfur ligands in an iron-sulfur
protein. The recommended designation of a cluster consists of the iron and sulfur
content, in square brackets, for example, [2Fe-2S], [3Fe-4S]. The possible oxidation
levels are indicated by the net charge excluding the ligands, for example [4Fe-4S]
sup 2 /sup ; [4Fe-4S] sup /sup or ([4Fe-4S] sup 2 ;1 /sup ) cluster.;
