Preferred Label : iron-sulfur proteins;
IUPAC definition : Proteins in which non-haem iron is coordinated with cysteine sulfur and usually also
with inorganic sulfur. Divided into three major categories: rubredoxins; 'simple iron-sulfur
proteins', containing only iron-sulfur clusters; and 'complex iron-sulfur proteins',
containing additional active redox centres such as flavin, molybdenum or haem. In
most iron-sulfur proteins, the clusters function as electron-transfer groups, but
in others they have other functions, such as catalysis of hydratase/dehydratase reactions,
maintenance of protein structure, or regulation of activity.;
